The gene expression analysis was performed using an ABI 7500 Real-Time PCR (Life Technologies, Darmstadt, Germany). Genexpression analysis for the murine (ms) genes IL-6, TNF-α, CXCL1, TLR2, TLR4, mFPR1, mFPR2 and mFPR3 were performed. The Primers for mFPR1 and mFPR2 were published previously [26] (link). Murine qPCR Primers were designed using the Primer Express 3.0 Software provided by Life Technologies (Darmstadt, Germany). Specific PCR products were detected by Sybr-Green and changes in gene expression were analysed by the ΔΔCT-calculation. GAPDH was used as a housekeeping gene (Table 1).
