From: Tissue-specific human beta-defensins (HBD)-1, HBD-2 and HBD-3 secretion profile from human amniochorionic membranes stimulated with Candida albicans in a two-compartment tissue culture system

Figure 1

Compartamentalized in vitro secretion of HBD-1 after selective stimulation with Candida albicans. Antimicrobian peptide HBD-1 was measured in the medium from comparments delimited by the amnion (AMN) and the choriodecidua (CHD) under basal conditions and after the three different modalities of infection with 1 × 106 CFU of Candida albicans. Boxes represent median concentration of HBD-1 with 25-75 interquartile range; outlier values are represented by ( · ); (*P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001, n = 10). *Statistically different with respect to control value of choriodecidual compartment.
