Figure 2. Effect of Gram-negative bacteria and LPS on fetal membrane TLR Expression.
Fetal membrane explants were cultured with and without LPS, E. coli, G. vaginalis or P. gingivalis. Bar charts show fetal membrane TLR1-10 mRNA expression in response to each bacterial treatment as the least squares mean (LSM) and Standard Error of fold changes relative to the control. Values were graphed using the control (no treatment) value as a baseline.
