Figure 8. Comparison of the IL-8 release induced by EDL933 and derivative mutants after growth in different media.

Figure 8

The highest level of IL-8 and TNF-α release was observed after growth of EDL933 in Minca (A and B) (*P<0.0001). The hcpA mutant was reduced for IL-8 and TNF-α induction compared to the wild-type strain (**P<0.0012). Comparison of IL-8 and TNF-α induction by EDL933, EDL933ΔhcpA, EDL933ΔfliC and EDL933ΔhcpA/ΔfliC previously cultured in Minca (C). Asterisks and ampersands indicate that a value is significantly different from the value for the mutant in hcpA, fliC and the double mutant hcpA/fliC cultured in Minca, **P<0.0012, && P<0.005, ***P<0.001, and **** P<0.0001.
