HLA-DR expression in fibroblast-like SC stimulated with IFN-γ and infected with C. trachomatis serotype D
Infection type | Treatment | HLA-DR-positive cells (%)a |
---|---|---|
Mock | Medium | —b |
Mock | 10 U of IFN-γ per ml | 91 (5) |
Mock | 10 U of IFN-γ per ml plus 50 U of IFN-β per ml | 61 (7)c |
C. trachomatis (MOI of 5) | 10 U of IFN-γ per ml | 50 (15)c |
C. trachomatis (MOI of 5) | 10 U of IFN-γ per ml plus 100 nU of anti-IFN-β per ml | 79 (4)d |
Average number (standard deviation) of four separate experiments.
—, not detectable.
Significantly different from values for mock-infected cells after IFN-γ stimulation (Welch t test, P ≤ 0.01).
Significantly different from values for infected cells after IFN-γ stimulation (Welch t test, P ≤ 0.01).
