Absence of LTA leads to a slight increase of the cytokine levels. Pro-inflammatory cytokine production by bmDCs following activation with wild-type P1/7 strain (black) and ΔltaS (blue) mutant strains. Production of IL-6 (A), TNF-α (B), CXCL1 (C), and CCL3 (D). Data represent the mean + SEM of at least three independent experiments. *(p < 0.05) indicates a significant difference between the wild-type and mutant strains.
