Figure 1

The effect of prolonged infection by P. aeruginosa on IL-8 and hBD-2 proteins secretion in SW480 cells. SW480 cells were left uninfected (CON) or infected with the wild-type P. aeruginosa strain PAO1 for the times indicated. Supernatant was analyzed by ELISA 6 hours later for IL-8. The amount of IL-8 produced is shown as the fold increase over uninfected control cells. Results are represented as means ± S.E.M. for at least three determinations from independent experiments. (*p <0.05; # p <0.05).
