Enhancement by G-CSF of the production of cell-bound CPS.K pneumoniae B5055 was grown in the absence or presence of either G-CSF (10 ng/mL) or IL-1α (2 ng/mL) as described in Materials and Methods. Data are from four independent experiments, each performed in duplicate, and are given as median ± quartiles. *, P = .02 of bacteria grown in the presence of G-CSF as compared with controls (Mann-Whitney U test). Inset: Effect of G-CSF on the production of cell-bound CPS in the avirulent strain K pneumoniae F201. Bacteria were grown in the absence or presence of G-CSF (10 ng/mL) as described in Materials and Methods. Data are from four independent experiments, each done in duplicate, and are given as median ± quartiles. Note different scale on the y axis.
