Effects of CGRP (10−6 M) on the binding (A) and invasion activities (B) of S. epidermidis (SE) toward HaCaT cells. After 1 h incubation at a MOI of 10:1, the total number of cell-associated bacteria was determined by direct counting after plating. Invasive bacteria were also quantified by direct counting after elimination of extracellular bacteria by gentamicin. (★★★p < 0.001). The results are representative of three independent experiments.
