The following were mixed with <i>E. coli</i> and injected separately: Tris-HCl (buffer control), proPO-ppA, proPO-casp1, proPO-casp2 and GFP (protein control). The relative number of <i>E. coli</i> in units of CFU/ml was calculated as the number for the specific fragments compared with the number for Tris-HCl. The results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. * <i>P</i><0.05, ** <i>P</i><0.01, *** <i>P</i><0.001 indicate a significant differences between the treatment and the Tris-HCl control. All experiments were repeated three times (N = 3). Each bar represents the mean ± SEM.</p> 2014-04-10 04:07:25 Evolutionary biology Evolutionary immunology immunology Immune response Immune system
