Effect of TA treatment on PGE2 levels during an infection of RAW 264.7 cells with Bp82.

<p>For each time point, cells were pretreated for 30 minutes with 100μM TA, 0.01% DMSO or were untreated. Infection groups were then infected with a Bp82 MOI of 5. PGE2 levels were determined via ELISA (R&D Systems) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The results represent three independent experiments plated in duplicate and were compared to the vehicle control via 2-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post-hoc test for significance. Error indicates SEM. Treatment with TA revealed a reduction in PGE2 levels at all time points (A-C). There is no significance between the uninfected groups and the TA treated groups. **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001.
