The mRNA expression patterns of tumor necrosis factor-α and TNFR-I in some vital organs after thermal injury

Figure 1 Semiquantitive analysis of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mRNA in various organs after thermal injury. Values are reported as the ratio of TNF-α to β-actin signals. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 as compared to the control values.

Figure 2 TNF-α protein levels in various organs after thermal injury. Values are reported as pg/mg protein. ^aP < 0.05 as com-pared to the control values.

Figure 3 Semiquantitive analysis of tumor necrosis factor-α receptor-I (TNFR-I) mRNA in observed organs after thermal injury. Values are reported as the ratio of TNFR-I to β-actin signals. ^aP < 0.05 as compared to the control values.

Figure 4 mRNA expression ratio of tumor necrosis factor-α to TNFR-I (T/R ratio) in observed organs after thermal injury. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 as compared to the control values.
