  • 1-a Data are mean values ± S.D. from two independent experiments performed on separate days with six (disease control) or three mice (all other groups). *P < .05 versus solvent control.

  • 1-b GalN-sensitized (700 mg/kg i.p.) mice were pretreated with the PDE inhibitor(s) (0.1 mg/kg i.p.) or the corresponding volume of solvent 30 min before injection of SEB (2 mg/kg i.p.).

  • 1-c Plasma enzyme activities were assessed 8 h after challenge.

  • 1-d Survival was monitored (m = number of animals that died during the experiment, n = number of animals per group).

  • 1-e Cytokines were determined 2.5 h after SEB injection in blood samples taken from the tail vein.
