Figure 1. Early time-dependent induction of lysozyme release from HZ-fed human adherent monocytes: role of the lipid moiety of HZ.

Figure 1

Cells were unfed (control cells, CTR) and fed with HZ, sHZ or dHZ for 2 h; then, lysozyme levels in cell supernatants were monitored 0, 1, 2, 24 and 48 h after the end of phagocytosis by spectrometric assay. Data are means + SEM of three independent experiments. Lysozyme release from monocytes is indicated as enzyme activity units measured in a 2 ml-well of cell supernatants. All data were evaluated for significance by ANOVA. Vs CTR *p<0.0001; Vs HZ °p<0.0001.
