Proliferation of gingiva fibroblasts stimulated by chemokines. Proliferation of gingiva fibroblasts over 3 days of stimulation with chemokines was assessed by DNA quantification. Four individual proliferation experiments in duplicate are expressed as mean ± SEM relative to unstimulated controls. A total of 5 of the 14 studied chemokines increased proliferation of gingiva fibroblast. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test
