Response of TLR2-transfected HeLa cells to fixed N. meningitidis as measured by induction of the IL-8 promoter. Cells were challenged with N. meningitidis mutants with truncated LOS (galE) (A), without capsule (siaD) (B), or without capsule together with truncated LOS (cps) (C), and the results were compared with the response of the wild-type (wt) strain. The median and interquartile range of IL-8 promoter induction of transfected HeLa cells are shown (n = 6). P > 0.05 (Kruskal-Wallis test).
