Analysis of inflammatory markers after PBI. NFκB, RANTES and IL1β mRNA expressions were quantified in the injury site and the injured hemisphere after PBI. TSG+/− mice and TSG-6−/− mice were subjected to PBI and the injury site and remaining injured hemisphere were collected 1, 5 and 10 days after injury. mRNA was extracted and subjected to real-time PCR analysis for NFκB (A–C), RANTES (D–F) and IL1β (G–I) mRNA expression. * = p ≤ 0.05 comparing TSG-6−/+ and TSG-6−/− mice
