Figure 5

The BALB/c mice immunized with LysGH15 were injected intravenously with MRSA strain YB57 (1 × 1010 CFU/mouse). One hour later, these mice were treated with LysGH15 or the control buffer. At the indicated time points, the levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, and IL-5 in the serum were determined (n = 6 mice per group per experiment). *P < 0.05 compared with the buffer-treated control; #P < 0.05 compared with the uninfected control. The data are representative of 3 experiments.
