Cytokine IL‐6, CXCL8, and CCL20 secretion in culture supernatants of RHS (left) and RHG (right) was determined by ELISA 24 hr after introduction of the wound and/or topical application of 0% (PBS) or 100% saliva ^* p < .05; Friedman test followed by Dunn's multiple comparisons test. Data represents mean ± SEM of three independent experiments each with an intra‐experiment duplicate. Each experiment represents a batch of RHS or RHG constructed from a single skin donor; three different skin and gingiva donors were used in total
