Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genome-wide differential mRNA expression of monocytes obtained before and 4 hours after the first endotoxin challenge, and plasma cytokine concentration profiles upon the first and second endotoxin challenge (including but not limited to TNF*, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10) to determine extent of endotoxin tolerance (which is expressed as the decrease in plasma cytokine levels between the first and second endotoxin challenge). These data will be integrated to determine the SNPs/transcripts that are predictive of the extent of endotoxin tolerance developed by the subjects. | — |
