Mycoplasma genitalium Lipoproteins Induce Human Monocytic Cell Expression of Proinflammatory Cytokines and Apoptosis by Activating Nuclear Factor 𝜅B

Table 1

Cell apoptosis induced by different groups, as determined by fluorescence microscopy. Values, quantified by random counting of acridine orange-ethidium bromide-stained cells, were mean±standard deviation of data from the three independent experiments. Percentages represent the different stages of cell death. (𝑃<.05, as determined by ANOVA single factor).
