We performed mRNA in situ hybridization for TNF-alpha and IL-1beta from infant rats with group B streptococcal meningitis. Induction of both cytokines was seen in the ependyma and the meninges at 4 h. Both cytokines were expressed in the brain parenchyma at 12 h. Induction of IL-1beta mRNA was seen in vessels within the brain cortex. Neutrophilic infiltrate at all time points examined was minimal and could not account for the observed cytokine expression.
