Figure 2. Protein expression in B. burgdorferi stimulated astrocytes.
Primary human astrocytes were stimulated with B. burgdorferi for 6, 12, 24, or 72 h. Supernatants from stimulated cells were collected, aliquoted and stored at −80°C. Levels of CXCL-1 (A), CXCL-10 (B), and IL-8 (C) were measured by individual ELISA according to the manufacturer's protocol (R&D Systems). Data represent two biological replicates per time point, with each sample run in triplicate. Error bars represent S.E.M.
