TLR2 expression is not altered in infected osteocytes. Influence of Staphylococcus aureus on osteoblasts and osteocytes surface TLR2 expression. Expression of TLR2 among living cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of TLR2 was determined. Statistics are calculated with raw data (MFI), infected vs. uninfected and a statistical analysis was performed using the unpaired t-test for each pair unpaired t-test; *p < 0.05. The bars and whiskers represent the means ±SD of different independent experiments; n = 3. −: control cells and +: infected cells.
