responses of WT and F12−/− mice to LPS challenge. (A) Survival rates of WT and F12−/− mice after implantation of LPS containing osmotic pumps. The solid line depicts the survival curve of WT mice (N=19). The survival at 96 hr was 52.6% of the mice administered LPS. The broken line indicates the survival curve of F12−/− mice (N=30), where 53.3% of the mice survived at 96 hr. The difference of the survival rates between the genotypes was compared using the log-rank and Wilcoxon tests, and no statistical differences were detected. (B) Plasma BK levels after LPS challenge. Plasma levels of BK in WT (black bars, N = 6 mice at each timepoint) and F12−/− mouse plasmas (grey bars, N = 6 mice at each timepoint) at various times after initiation of LPS challenge. * p < 0.05. The minimum detectable concentration was 10 pg/ml, which is the level indicated by the gray bars. (C) Heart rates after LPS challenge. (D) Mean arterial blood pressures after LPS challenge. The black bars indicate WT mice (N=9) and the gray bars depict F12−/− mice (N=9). Pairwise comparisons with statistical significance are indicated as * (p<0.05).
