Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the possibility that NF-kappaB subunits p50 and p65 have a role in limiting the systemic inflammatory response induced by endotoxin, we compared the susceptibility of wild-type (WT), p65+/-, p50-/-, and p50-/-p65+/- (3X) mice to LPS-induced shock. Interestingly, whereas p65+/- mice were no more sensitive than WT mice to LPS-induced shock, 3X mice were exquisitely sensitive to the toxic effects of LPS....
