Time course of activation ofIL-6 and IL-1 promoters in RAW264 cells and the effect of a range of microbial agonists. Pooled stable transfectants with the IL-6 promoter driving firefly luciferase and the IL-6 promoter driving renilla luciferase were incubated overnight then stimulated with the agents shown for the time indicated prior to assay of luciferase activity. PMA3-CSK was added at 100 ng/ml, peptidoglycan at 10 μg/ml and E-coli genomic DNA (bDNA) at 10 μg/ml. A representative experiment of two is shown. Datapoints are the average of duplicate wells.
