IL-8 and TNF-α induction by biofilms and biofilm supernatants. Human blood cells were stimulated by 24-h old monospecies and polymicrobial biofilms and biofilm supernatants. The stimulated samples were analyzed by ELISA for the quantification of IL-8 (a) and TNF-α (b). Ca = Candida albicans; Aa = Aggregatibater actinomycetemcomitans; Sm = Streptococcus mutans; Sg = Streptococcus gordonii; Mix = Mixture and C=Control, *p < 0.05
