Fig. 2From: B cell activating factor regulates periodontitis development by suppressing inflammatory responses in macrophagesExpression of BAFF in experimental periodontitis in mice. Ligature was placed around the maxillary right second molar and left second molar was used as a control side. a Representative images from experimental periodontitis as indicated by alveolar bone loss. P, palatal surface. b Quantification analysis of alveolar bone resorption. c, d Expression of BAFF and TNF-α was measured by real-time PCR. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. ***P < 0.001 using two-tailed Student’s t-testBack to article page
