Figure 5

Principal component analysis (PCA). Comparison of the immune response of PBMCs induced by all five tested phages (Highly purified or phage lysate; magenta) and their bacterial host strain (blue). The PCA clearly shows that the bacteria (blue) and phages (magenta) for two separate groups, indicating that the immune response induced is different between these two types of stimuli. There is no clear distinction between the different phages, indicating that these five different phages induced similar responses. Moreover the gene expression of IL1RN, IL1B and SOCS3, IL6 and IL1A, TNFA and IL10, and LYZ and TGFBI are correlated.
