LPS-induced release of (a) CXCL8 and (b) IL-6 in human PBMCs. Cells were pre-treated with either the G-protein inhibitor pertussis toxin, the specific Giα inhibitor mastoparan (Mas+) or its inactive counterpart (Mas -). The data represents the mean ± SEM from 8 experiments. *P < 0.05 as determined by Kruskal Wallace non-parametric ANOVA followed by Dunnets post-test analysis.
