From: Oral Lactobacillus strains reduce cytotoxicity and cytokine release from peripheral blood mononuclear cells exposed to Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans subtypes in vitro

Fig. 2

The cytotoxicity (a) and IL-1β concentration (b) secreted from PBMCs (from six blood donors) exposed to the supernatant (1:1 concentration) or CWEs (100 μg/mL), where each spot represents one blood donor and a mean value of eight A. actinomycetemcomitans strains alone or in combination with three strains of Lactobacillus spp. (SD1, SD11 or LGG). * Statistically significant lower cytotoxicity (p < 0.001) or IL-1β concentration (p < 0.048) for the combinations compared to A. actinomycetemcomitans alone using Mann Whitney U test. The median of the group is shown as a horizontal line
