Melanocyte-derived factors increase resistance to infection. a Melanocytes migrate and fragment to injury sites. b Albino embryos’ resistance to infection keeps being increased by exposure to ivermectin. Infected embryos were exposed to ivermectin for 24 h following infection and the survival ratios were calculated 4 days post-infection. c Percentage increase in survival to infection following bacterial exposure to cell supernatants from proliferating or quiescent human neonatal melanocytes (HEMn). Error bars represent the standard deviation from three biological replicates. d Percentage increase in survival to infection following bacterial exposure to non-denaturing cell lysates from proliferating or quiescent human neonatal melanocytes (HEMn). Each column represents the compilation of three independent experiments within which each experiment used embryos from a single fertilization. *denotes p < 0.05
