Fig 2
Induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in response to Sbi.
Peritoneal macrophages obtained from BALB/c mice were stimulated with the recombinant protein Sbi at the concentrations indicated for different periods of time. The levels of IL-6 (A), TNF-α (B) and IL-1β (C) were quantified in the culture supernatant by ELISA. *, P<0,05; **, P<0,01, ***, P<0,001; Student t Test.
