Antibiotic protection assay of P. gingivalis-infected GECs yields more live bacteria recovered after stimulation of A2a receptor. Stimulation of A2a receptor in P. gingivalis-infected GECs resulted in greater amounts of live bacteria recovered after host cell lysis and plating of intracellular contents on Blood agar plates. There was greater than twice the amount of P. gingivalis recovered after A2a activation compared to un-stimulated infected control. Asterisk (*) indicates statistical significance (P < 0.001 Student t-test) between untreated infected controls and A2a receptor activated infected GECs.
