Figure 3. MRSA induces the release of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 in whole blood.

Figure 3

MRSA was grown overnight and then inoculated in 2 ml of whole blood at a starting concentration of 9x102, 9x104, 9x106 cfu/ml, or not treated (NT). Whole blood inoculated with MRSA was incubated at 37°C for 24 hours and plasma levels of each cytokine were measured over time by ELISA. Each point reflects the mean (± SEM) of 3–5 experiments.
