The Antimicrobial Peptide Lysozyme Is Induced after Multiple Trauma
Figure 5
Induction of lysozyme in hepatocytes. (a) HepG2 cells were incubated with IL-6 and S. aureus for 24 hours. Significant increase of lysozyme concentration was detected by ELISA after stimulation with S. aureus. (b) To evaluate transcriptional induction of lysozyme, cultivated hepatocytes (HepG2) were stimulated with IL-6 and S. aureus. Gene expression of lysozyme was measured by real-time PCR after stimulation; .
