mRNA values for interleukin-6 (a) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (b) in McCoy and CWR-R1 cells infected with C. trachomatis AT 24 hpi. McCoy and CWR-R1 cells were plated, grown, and harvested 48 hours after inoculation of C. trachomatis. mRNAs for IL-6 and FGF-2 were measured as described in Material and Methods. The study was conducted 3 times. Most representative set of results is shown above.
