Fig 1 Western blot analysis for interleukin-10. In the far left lane the molecular weight (MW) markers are represented, as referenced from the kaleidoscope marker. There is minimal interleukin-10 protein in negative controls and 1-hour reperfused lungs. At 2, 3, and 4 hours of reperfusion there is significantly increased expression of interleukin-10 protein in left lung homogenates. (hr = hour; kDa = kilodaltons.)

Fig 3 Ribonuclease protection assay densitometry for cytokine mRNA using Image J software. Densitometric analysis reveals increased mRNA expression for tumor necrosis factor-α (■), interleukin-1β (□), and interferon-γ (▨) in animals treated with antibody to interleukin-4 and interleukin-10. (IL = interleukin.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2003 76, 253-259DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(03)00335-7)
