Heat stress induced cytokine secretion. Expression of cytokines Il6, Il1b, Tnf, Mcp1, Ifng and Il10 by mouse splenic cells with and without exposure to heat quantified by RT-PCR (a). Quantification of cytokines: TNF (b), IL-6 (c), IL-1β (d), MCP-1 (e), and IFN-γ (f) in the sera of mice by flow cytometer and sandwich ELISA. Data represent the mean ± SD of replicates of six samples. Asterisks indicate significant differences (p < 0.05)
