The number of bacteria is indicated in the figure as colony forming unit (CFU). INPUT: number of bacteria in serum before incubation in the device (n = 2); CONTROL OUTPUT: number of bacteria in serum after incubation in device without peptide (n = 2); TETRAMER OUTPUT: number of bacteria in serum after incubation in device containing SET-M33 in tetrameric form (n = 2); DIMER OUTPUT and 2X DIMER OUTPUT: number of bacteria in serum after incubation in device containing SET-M33 in dimeric form, at the same concentration as tetramer or 2X, respectively (n = 2); MONOMER OUTPUT and 4X MONOMER OUTPUT: number of bacteria in serum after incubation in device containing SET-M33 in monomeric form, at the same concentration as tetramer or 4X, respectively (n = 2). Columns represent group means.
