Fig. 2

Isolated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) from the German and African donor were subjected to 5 nM recombinant Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) after pre-incubation with serial dilutions of pooled serum from German or African participants. Neutralization of the cytotoxic effect of PVL is displayed as percentage of undamaged PMNs. Half-maximal (50%) and 90% inhibition thresholds are indicated as dotted lines
