FIG. 5.

(A) Immunoblot analysis with anti-PNR IgG for immunoprecipitates of the aliquots of bacterial culture containing AbsNHS with anti-PNR IgG or control IgG. (B) Induction of IL-8 production in the BET-1A cells in response to the immunoprecipitates of the aliquots of bacterial culture containing AbsNHS with anti-PNR IgG or control IgG. These samples (diluted 1:10 in LHC-9 medium) were tested with the BET-1A cells, and the levels of IL-8 production were measured. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation of three experiments. ∗, P < 0.05 (compared with anti-PNR IgG by Student’s t test).
