Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) expression in BE2C cells decreases after exposure to B. burgdorferi. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to measure gene expression of SOD2 in BE2C cells using human SOD2 specific primers. BE2C cells were co-cultured with B. burgdorferi for 30 min, 2 h, and 24 h durations followed by the use of RT-qPCR to establish human specific SOD2 expression. Analysis was performed using Bio-Rad CFX Manager. Error bars represent SEM of three experiments.
