TLR4 ligand did not change bacterial translocation (BT), bacterial killing activity of peritoneal cells, and TNFα mRNA expression in C3H/HeJ mice. (A) Commensal depletion with or without LPS supplement did not change BT in C3H/HeJ mice. (B) Commensal depletion with or without LPS supplement did not change bacterial retention of peritoneal cells in C3H/HeJ mice. (C) Commensal depletion with or without LPS supplement did not change TNFα mRNA expression of peritoneal cells in C3H/HeJ mice. The values represent the average fold increase (± s.d.) in mRNA expression in 3 different mice of each group. ! p < 0.05, vs. sham group.
