FIG 2.

Genes induced by IL-22 and IL-17A in L. monocytogenes-infected HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were cultured in the presence or absence of IL-22 and IL-17A before L. monocytogenes infection. Gene expression profiles of the two groups were compared by microarray analysis. Genes whose expression increased more than 2 times in the cytokine-treated group in two independent experiments are listed, and the mean of the increased level is shown. Genes encoding the antimicrobial molecules LCN2 and PLA2G2A are highlighted in bold.
