Cytokine gene expression assay. Evaluation of cytokines in RAW 264.7 Macrophage cell lines (Mф) in various conditions. Heat inactivated or live biofilms of K. pneumoniae exposed to activated Mф showed an increased level of cytokines(TLR2, iNOS, IL6, IL-β1, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-12, TNF-α) except IL-10. Two Way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test was performed for comparing the mean cytokine expression between the groups.*represents significant fold increase (p < 0.05)
