From: Role of oxidative stress on diesel-enhanced influenza infection in mice

Figure 7

Antioxidants decrease Interleukin 4 (IL-4) and increase the expression of IFN-γ during a DE-enhanced influenza infection. IL-4 and IFN-γ gene expression was analyzed in lung RNA on day 4 p.i. A) Levels of IL-4 mRNA were quantified in lung homogenates by real-time RT-PCR and normalized to levels of β-actin in mice exposed to air on day 4 p.i. B) IFN-γ on day 4 p.i. *significantly different from saline control (p < 0.05, n = 6).
