Fig. 4. ERAP2 genotype is associated with cytokine response to Y. pestis stimulation.

ad, Effect of genotype upon cytokine levels for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (a), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (b), interleukin 10 (IL-10) (c) and C-C motif chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3) (d). Remaining cytokines showed no significant effects and are included in Supplementary Table 7. e, Boxplots showing the percentage of bacteria killed (y axis) by macrophages infected for 24 h as a function of ERAP2 genotype (x axis). The percentage of bacteria killed was calculated as the CFU2 h − CFU24 h/CFU2 h, where CFU is colony-forming unit. The P value results from a linear model examining the association between ERAP2 single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes (SNP) (coded as the number of protective rs2549794 alleles found in each individual: 0, 1 or 2) and the percentage of bacteria killed.
