Comparative induction potentials of LPS; rRNAs from E. coli, chicken and zebrafish; and IVT-18S rRNA. Upon microinjection with 40 ng of various stimulants, the induced levels of il8, il1β and psmb9a expression were estimated by qPCR at indicated times. Induction potential was compared between E. coli rRNA and LPS a among E. coli, chicken and zebrafish rRNAs b and between IVT-18S and native self rRNAs c. Induction levels of water-injected embryos (represented as fold 1 in the figures) were used as a control to quantitate the induction levels of test stimulants at the respective time points. Values are mean ± SE (n = 3)
