Phosphorylation of p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in response to peptidoglycan (PGN) is higher in cord blood than in adult monocytes. Cord blood (CBMC; n = 16) or peripheral blood (PBMC; n = 7) mononuclear cells were stimulated with 10 μg/ml PGN for 30 min and subsequently CD14+ cells were analysed by flow cytometry for p-p38-MAPK. Data are shown as geometric mean fluorescence intensity (GeoMFI). Boxes cover 50% of the values between the 25th and the 75th percentiles, and whiskers extend to the 10th and 90th percentiles. Raw data are shown excluding outliers and extremes. The Mann–Whitney U-test was used to evaluate differences between groups.
