Figure 5.
Under different patterns of single nucleotide polymorphisms, we measured and compared interleukin 1-beta (IL-1β) responses from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after stimulation with dead Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacilli (multiplicity of infection [MOI] 20 and 100) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (5 µg/ml) for 48 hours. The data were compared using the Mann Whitney U test. The crossed lines are mean values and bars of standard errors. *0.01 ≤ p < 0.05.
