Figure 3. Staphylococcus aureus induces expression of soluble RANKL.

Figure 3

Osteoblasts (1Ɨ106 cells/well) were incubated with either control buffer, S. aureus Newman, Newman Ī”spa or Newman spa (pCU1spa +) for 24 hrs. Media from uninfected and infected osteoblasts was removed and centrifuged at x 10,000g for 2 minutes. Soluble RANKL was detected using an ELISA kit. *P<0.01, **P<0.001, nā€Š=ā€Š3
