From: Chlamydophila pneumoniae induces expression of Toll-like Receptor 4 and release of TNF-α and MIP-2 via an NF-κB pathway in rat type II pneumocytes

Figure 2

TLR4 protein expression in type II cells has two peeks. (A) The cytoplasm protein fraction of type II cells was subjected to SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, non-infected cells (lane 1), 30 min (lane 2), 60 min (lane 3), 120 min (lane 4) and 180 min (lane 5) exposure with C. pneumoniae. (B) The TLR4 protein expression was estimated by densitometry. Values of n = 4 experiments are given as means ± SD in arbitrary units [AU]). Asterisk indicates a significant difference to controls (1), 60 min (3) and 120 min (4) (P <0.05).
