Quantification of MHC II and CD86 expression on the surface of gonococcus-infected RAW cells using flow cytometry. Macrophages were stained with anti-CD11b specific antibodies. (a) MHC class II in RAW cells, . (b) CD86 in RAW cells, . Bars represent mean SEM of independent experiments. Representative histogram plot are shown in the right panel. * indicates that P9-17 induced lower levels of MHC II compared to levels induced by LPS, ; ** indicates that P9-17 induced lower levels of CD86 compared to levels induced by LPS, .
