Trichomonas vaginalis infection leads to IL-1β production in a mouse model of infection. a The timeline shows the pretreatment strategy for female C57BL/6 mice prior to intravaginal T. vaginalis inoculation or PBS mock infection. b Concentrations of IL-1β protein levels in vaginal lavages collected 3 days after infection quantified by ELISA. The data shown are from 3 independent experiments combined (n = 25 mice per treatment group). The median and range are shown. * p < 0.05 compared to the PBS uninfected control.
