Fig. 4From: High-throughput transcriptomics reveals common and strain-specific responses of human macrophages to infection with Mycobacterium abscessus Smooth and Rough variantsMeasurements of cytokines and related proteins in cell supernatants. Increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were observed in infected relative to uninfected cells. Additionally, morphotype-specific variations in the levels of several pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were observed, with higher levels generally detected in MAB-S-infected cells. Asterisks indicate the level of statistical significance for morphotype-specific responses: * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01, *** P ≤ 0.001Back to article page
