LTA (0.1 μg/ml) from S. aureus synergized with PepG from either (A) S. aureus or (B) B. subtilis to cause nitrite formation in macrophages. In contrast, a 100-fold concentration of LTA from B. subtilis (10 μg/ml) did not synergize with PepG from either (A) S. aureus or (B) B. subtilis to cause nitrite accumulation. The nitrite formation induced by LTA plus PepG from B. subtilis is due to PepG alone (see Table 1). Data are expressed as means ± SE of nine wells from three independent experiments. *P <0.05 versus respective basal levels.
