The effect of partial hepatectomy on serum IL-6 secretion after ConA challenge. a ConA was intravenously injected to CD1d-/- or to wild type mice 4 days prior to 70% PH. In the other experiments vehicle was injected instead of ConA in the same setting. Serum IL-6 levels were measured 3 h after PH by ELISA (a). b As in A, but IL-6 levels were measured 48 h after PH. c Anti CD1d or isotype control antibodies were intravenously injected 1 h before ConA administration 4 days prior to 70% PH. In the other experiments vehicle was injected instead of ConA in the same setting. Serum IL-6 levels were measured 48 h after PH. Bars are means ± standard error values. N = 9 mice per condition. * p < 0.05 or * p < 0.01, relative to wild type or IgG-isotype control, respectively. ***, p < 0.001, relative to wild type or IgG-isotype control
