Hyperglycemia Inhibits Complement-Mediated Immunological Control of S. aureus in a Rat Model of Peritonitis

Figure 2

Humoral immune influx into the peritoneum. (a) IgG concentrations in peritoneal wash fluid assayed by SDS-PAGE. (b) Total C4 concentration in peritoneal wash fluid assayed by ELISA. (c) Total C3 concentration in peritoneal wash fluid assayed by ELISA. (d) C3-fragments in peritoneal wash fluid at 2 hours after infection analyzed by Western blot. (e) C3-fragments in peritoneal wash fluid at 24 hours after infection analyzed by Western blot. Graphed data shows means of results for peritoneal samples from the animals in each treatment group. Error bars denote standard error of the means.
