Figure Lengend Snippet: Concentration-dependent NF-κB transcriptional activities of conjugated NOD2/TLR4 agonists. SEAP activity was measured in (A) HEK-Blue hNOD2 cells after incubation for 18 h with MDP (positive control; 4 μM), and compounds (0.5–10 μM); and (B) HEK-Blue hTLR4 (B) cells after incubation for 18 h with LPS (positive control; 10 ng/mL) and compounds (0.5–10 μM or 1–100 μM concentration range as indicated). Data are shown as relative activities to the vehicle-treated control (0.1% DMSO) and are means ± SEM of three independent experiments.
Article Snippet: HEK-Blue hNOD2 cells (25,000 cells/well) and TLR4 cells (40,000 cells/well) were seeded in 96-well plates in 100 μL of HEK-Blue detection medium (Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA) and treated with compounds (at 0.5 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM and 10 μM in the case of HEK-Blue hNOD2 cells (all conjugates) or with the corresponding vehicle (0.1% DMSO) and in the case of HEK-Blue hTLR4 cells at two different concentration ranges, 0.5 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM and 10 μM (conjugates 17–21 ) and 1 μM, 10 μM and 100 μM (conjugates 27–31 ) or the corresponding vehicle (0.1% DMSO).
