Figure 7. E. faecalis MN1 supernate inhibits TSST-1-induced T cell proliferation.

Figure 7

E. faecalis MN1 supernate was incubated with human PBMCs and TSST-1 (1 µg/well) in a superantigenicity assay to assess the ability of secreted factors to inhibit TSST-1-induced T cell proliferation. The two highest doses of supernate (20 and 2 µl per well) significantly inhibited T cell proliferation due to TSST-1 by individual Student's t tests (*p<0.001). The 0 µl control shows the average CPMs for PBMCs with and without TSST-1.
