Estradiol inhibits HBD2 and elafin secretion. Freshly isolated vaginal epithelial cells from three different volunteers (102, 103 & 104) were incubated overnight in triplicate wells prior to treatment with estradiol (5×10−8 M) for 48 hrs. Conditioned media were recovered and analyzed by ELISA for the presence of HBD2 (a) and elafin (b). (n = 3). **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 with respect to control.
