Selected References

Alternate Hypothesis is accepted while the null hypothesis is rejected. The dual knockout T4R lowered TNF levels more than the single knockout receptor cells in all trials. T2R was less efficient than T4RT4R antagonist – Limit Cytokines

Conclusion

Future Studies

Conduct trials testing for different cytokines.

Re-Run all trials

-Dual Knockout receptor cells were more effective in most trials. -The combination of RAGE and a Toll- Like receptor is more effective n combating sepsis.
