Figure 4

Absence of the lipoprotein Lmb significantly decreases the cytokine levels in mouse plasma from infected animals. Plasma levels of IL-6 (A) and CXCL1 (B) in mice 12 h following intraperitoneal inoculation of the S. suis serotype 2 wild-type strain P1/7 (dark blue) or Δlmb mutant strain (light blue). Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 8). *p < 0.05 indicates a significant difference between plasma levels of mice infected with the mutant strain when compared to the wild-type P1/7 strain.
