In contrast, the two highest doses of the metabolite fraction induced highly significant increases in CD25 expression in the monocyte population compared to untreated control cultures ( p < 0.01; Figure 2 D).
In contrast, the two highest doses of the metabolite fraction induced highly significant increases in CD25 expression in the monocyte population compared to untreated control cultures ( p < 0.01; Figure 2 D).
This increase in RANTES production was highly significant for the germinated spores ( p < 0.01) and significant for the cell wall fraction ( p < 0.05); moreover, a statistical trend for the metabolite fraction was observed, suggesting that both the cell walls and metabolites contributed to the effects observed in the germinated spores ( Figure 5 D).
