Comparison of chemokine levels induced in DCs treated with live C. jejuni strains 81-176, NCTC 11168, or M129 or heat-killed strain 81-176. Culture supernatants were tested at 24 h postinfection with C. jejuni at an MOI of 10 and compared to an uninfected control (un). The heat-killed C. jejuni cells were treated at 70°C for 30 min and subsequently confirmed by plate count to be nonviable. The titers of MIP-1α, MIP-1β, RANTES, GRO-α, IP-10, and MIG are shown in A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively. Data are presented as the means ± SD of duplicate wells from 3 independent assays.
