Figure 1. Levels of leukocytes (A), TNF- (B), IL-1ß (C), and IL-10 (D) in the chambers of IFN^-/- and IFN^+/+ mice following P. gingivalis challenge. Mice (n = 6, each group) were challenged with P. gingivalis, and chamber exudates were harvested for analysis after 2 and 24 hrs. Results are expressed as mean ± standard error. Significant differences between IFN^-/- and IFN^+/+ groups at the same time point (p < 0.05) are indicated by an asterisk.
