hvKP1 generated conditioned ascites is a more potent enhancer of growth/survival in ascites of cKP1-4 than cKP1-4 generated conditioned ascites.

<p>The growth of cKP1-4 was assessed at 0, 3, 6, and 24 hours in human ascites (batch 2) that was heated at 56°C for 30 minutes (Δ56°C) and supplemented with 0%, 1%, 5%, or 25% of hvKP1 or cKP1-4 generated conditioned Δ56°C ascites. <u>Panel A</u>: cKP1; there was a trend for increased growth and/or survival of cKP1 when ascites was supplemented with 25% hvKP1-generated conditioned ascites compared to 25% cKP1-generated conditioned ascites (#P>0.05/3 but <0.05). <u>Panel B</u>: cKP2; the growth and/or survival of cKP2 was significantly increased when ascites was supplemented with 25% hvKP1-generated conditioned ascites compared to 25% cKP2-generated conditioned ascites (*P<0.05/3). <u>Panel C</u>: cKP3; the growth and/or survival of cKP3 was significantly increased when ascites was supplemented with 1% hvKP3-generated conditioned ascites compared to 1% cKP3-generated conditioned ascites (*P<0.05/3) and there was a trend for increased growth and/or survival of cKP1 when ascites was supplemented with 5% and 25% hvKP1-generated conditioned ascites compared to 5% and 25% cKP1-generated conditioned ascites (#P>0.05/3 but <0.05). <u>Panel D</u>: cKP4; there was a trend for increased growth and/or survival of cKP4 when ascites was supplemented with 1% hvKP1-generated conditioned ascites compared to 1% cKP4-generated conditioned ascites (#P>0.05/3 but<0.05).
