Figure 4

Cytokine levels in blood and brain homogenate. Cytokines were measured in WT (n = 11), Nlrp3 −/− (n = 12) and Asc −/− (n = 12) mice in blood (A, C) and brain homogenate (WT; n = 7, Nlrp3 −/−; n = 8, Asc −/−; n = 8) (B, D) at 30 hours after induction of pneumococcal meningitis. Undisplayed cytokines measurement did not differ significantly between Nlrp3 −/− or Asc −/− and WT mice. Data are given as medians and 75th quartile. * P < 0.05.
