CXCL8 responses of human nasopharyngeal epithelial cells to pneumococcal strain D39 (serotype 2) and its mutants lacking pneumolysin (D39Δply) or capsule (D39Δcps) or both (D39ΔplyΔcps) in the absence and presence (1 mg or 100 μg) of liposomes. Liposomes reduced CXCL8 levels following exposure to the wildtype strain D39 strain but also reduced the CXCL8 response to its mutants lacking pneumolysin. * indicates significant difference. Error bars indicate standard deviation
