Figure 1

Supernatants of C. albicans induce hBD expression in OE21 cells. OE21 cells were stimulated with A) TNF-α (20 ng/ml), IL-1β (20 ng/ml) or B) supernatants of 0.5 × 104 C. albican/ml or 1 × 105 C. albican/ml for 24 h. hBD-1, hBD-2 and hBD-3 gene expression was assessed by real time RT-PCR. Means ± s.d. of three independent experiments performed in triplicate are shown, * indicates p-value <0,05.
