From: IL-4 and IL-13 exposure during mucociliary differentiation of bronchial epithelial cells increases antimicrobial activity and expression of antimicrobial peptides

Figure 4

Two week exposure to IL-4 or IL-13 enhances antimicrobial activity. Apical wash was harvested using a 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.4 and added to 250 colony forming units (CFU) of log phase P. aeruginosa PAO1 for 3 h. Bacteria were plated to assess number of CFU. Data represent mean CFU/ml ± SEM using apical washes obtained from six different donors.
