Western blotting analysis of the nuclear (N) and cytosolic (C) fractions of NF-kB (p65) after treatment of HMT-3522 S1 cells with vehicle (control), the MAMPs LPS (A), LTA (G) or flagellin (M), in the absence or presence of inhibitor for their cognate TLR. Quantification of the nuclear to cytosolic ratios of NF-kB is shown in the graphs (B, H, N).
