Fig 3. Effect of P. aeruginosa infection on the reactivity of porcine bronchial smooth muscle cells.

Fig 3

A. Influence of P. aeruginosa infection on the constriction of porcine bronchial rings induced by 1μM carbachol 6 h after infection. B. Concentration dependence of the dilatation of carbachol-contracted bronchial rings induced by salbutamol in control and 6 h after P. aeruginosa infection. Control and infected groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Data are means ± S.E.M. * indicates p<0.05. A sigmoidal dose-response curve was used to generate the IC50.
