Local expression of inflammatory genes at 24 h and 72 h post-trauma. Innate and adaptive responses were compared between osteotomy and polytrauma animals in RNA isolated from the femur following trauma by RT2 PCR Array. a Out of 84 genes, 6 were significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated at least twofold in the polytrauma cohort compared to osteotomy at 24 h and b 4 genes were significantly downregulated at 72 h (N = 5/group)
