FIG 2.
Release of IL-23 by hDCs after coincubation with the 10 eluates from the gel-separated sequential extract. Results are shown as the means and standard errors of the means from three independent experiments. PBS, negative control; LPS, positive control; Mh, M. hominis PG21; Mb, M. hominis PG21 membranes; IFSar-DPTX, Sarkosyl-insoluble fraction treated by TX-114 (detergent phase). ★, significantly different (P < 0.05) from PBS according to the Newman-Keuls post hoc test; #, significantly different (P < 0.05) from IL-23 concentration released after coincubation with E2, E6, and E9 eluates according to the Newman-Keuls test.
