Comparison of mRNA expressions of SAA1/2 and SAA3 in CMT-93 cells. (A) CMT-93 cells were inoculated with rotavirus, Toxoplasma, S. aureus and E. coli for 2 hr at 37°C. (B) CMT-93 cells were inoculated with living or dead S. aureus, and living or dead E. coli at the same bacterial concentrations (107 CFU/ml) for 2 hr at 37°C. (C) CMT-93 cells were inoculated with different amounts of living or dead E. coli for 2 hr at 37°C. (D) CMT-93 cells were inoculated with different amounts of LPS for 2 hr at 37°C. The relative mRNA expression levels of SAA1/2 and SAA3 were corrected with GAPDH and then compared with the control. Data are the means of 8 independent observations with standard errors represented by vertical bars. Asterisks indicate significant differences compared with the control. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01.
