a From the Ribonuclease Protection Assays (RPAs), mean fold-change was determined by normalizing the optical density band of the LPS-treated sample to the housekeeping gene GAPDH or L-32, then expressing it relative to the optical density of the normalized band from the vehicle-treated sample. b Based on one-sample t-test to determine whether mean was significantly different from maximum LPS induction (μ = 1.0). c Expression of GM-CSF and G-CSF was sometimes undetectable in unstimulated cells, thus the LPS-induced expression could not be described appropriately as "fold change" * p < 0.05
