Fig. 1: Comparison of inflammatory mediators in Ureaplasma-positive tracheal aspirates.

From: Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum induce distinct types of inflammation in neonates and human epithelial cell models

Fig. 1

Heatmap showing changes in abundances of six quantified cytokines and chemokines in tracheal aspirates from five Ureaplasma-positive preterm neonates. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were determined by ELISA and Legend-plex assay. Individual protein abundance per milliliter of tissue was z-score normalized. Blue indicates lower protein concentrations while yellow represents higher protein concentrations (see scale). Dark blue squares denote the presence of U. urealyticum in a patient sample; and green squares indicate the presence of U. parvum. Black boxes indicate whether a neonate developed BPD. One sample ran out (gray squares) and could not be tested.
