Figure 5From: Induction of p38- and gC1qR-dependent IL-8 expression in pulmonary fibroblasts by soluble hepatitis C core proteinInhibition of HCV-core induced IL-8 expression by SB203580. NHLF were either mock-treated or treated with DMSO vehicle, SB203580, β-galactosidase (β-gal), β-galactosidase-HCV core protein (Core), or Core and SB203580 at the indicated concentrations and incubated for 24 hr. IL-8 protein expression was assayed by ELISA as described above.Back to article page
