Chlamydia trachomatis induces IL-10 production in AA mϕ, and IL-12p70 in CA mϕ. (A) Mϕ were left untreated (first bar) or stimulated with Escherichia coli LPS (second bar), inoculated with heat-killed (third bar) or viable Chlamydia trachomatis (fourth bar) for one day. IL-10 concentrations of these cell culture supernatants were measured. Means of triplicates with respective standard deviations are depicted. After two-way ANOVA analysis, p-values of post hoc Tukey HSD are depicted. p-values ≤ 0.001 are symbolized by ∗∗. p-values ≤ 0.05 are symbolized by ∗. Results representative of one out of four independent experiments are shown. (B) Results for IL-12p70. p-values ≤ 0.01 are symbolized by ∗∗, p-values ≤ 0.5 are symbolized by ∗. Results representative of one out of four independent experiments are shown.
