Figure 3

HAdV-19-induced IL-8 expression. (A) Increased IL-8 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR in HAdV-19 infected keratocytes, and this increase was reduced by pre-treatment with SB203580 (SB: 2, 5, 10, or 20 μM). GAPDH mRNA levels are shown as a control. (B) At 4 hr after infection, IL-8 protein was also significantly increased by ELISA, and this increase was reduced in dose-dependent fashion by SB203580 (p = 0.0041). Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. The figure shown represents four independent experiments.
