FIG. 3.
CD14+ cells express IL-6 and TNF-α following stimulation by Eap. Intracytoplasmic staining was performed to determine which cells were being activated by Eap. The panels on the left show TNF-α expression in unstimulated (upper plot) and Eap10-stimulated (lower plot) PBMCs. The panels on the right show IL-6 expression in unstimulated (upper plot) and Eap10-stimulated (lower plot) PBMCs. Only CD14+ cells produce proinflammatory cytokines in response to Eap.
