Neuropeptides SP and CGRP Diminish the <i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i> Outer Membrane Vesicle- (OMV-) Triggered Inflammatory Response of Human A549 Epithelial Cells and Neutrophils

<div>Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs of <i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i> (Mc6) outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). (a) Bacteria releasing OMVs. Bacteria were harvested from <i>in vitro</i> overnight cultures and prepared as described in Materials and Methods. Shown are electron micrographs of single cells (magnification, ×22,000). (b) The isolated OMVs (magnification, ×50,000). OMVs were examined by TEM as described in Materials and Methods. Shown micrographs are illustrative of at least two independent experiments. The released vesicles are indicated by arrows.</div>
