4 samples were examined for each treatment group. A) Representative RT-PCR gel of VEGF isoforms in control and injured murine lung. Lanes are as follows: (1–8) injured murine lung at day 5 (24 hours post last LPS dose) (9–12) injured murine lung at day 2 (24 hours post last LPS dose), (13–14) control murine lung. B-D): Further real-time PCR analysis was undertaken in the samples at day 5. This confirmed the increased levels of VEGF120, VEGF164 and VEGF188 in injured murine lung (*p < 0.05 fold change compared to control).
