Figure 5

Induction of IL1β, TNF, IL10, IL23, IL12p70, IL17A, IL4 by invasive and airway isolates of the SMG. PBMCs were stimulated with 35 heat-killed isolates of the SMG from invasive infections (n = 19) or the airways (n =16). Levels of A. IL1β, B. TNF, C. IL10, D. IL23, E. 12p70, F. IL17A and G. IL4 were measured in cell supernatant after 24 hours by multiplex assaying. Box-and-whisker plots indicate median, interquartile ranges and outliers of cytokine production. Statistical significance between invasive and airway isolates was determined by a Mann–Whitney test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
