2 Fig. 1 Effect of different concentrations of gemifloxacin (Gemi) on secretion of IL-1α, IL-1,β IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α by human monocytes (M) stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). + = p < calculated for M only and M + LPS, while * = p < 0.01 calculated for M + LPS and M + LPS + concentration of Gemi.

3 Fig. 2 Results of the electrophoretic shift-mobility assay. Lane 13 shows that cells incubated with gemifloxacin alone did not induce NF-ΚB activation. The locations of the unbound labelled oligonucleotide probe and the NF-ΚB-DNA complex are shown. Gemifloxacin concentrations of 0.001, and mg/L gave identical results. The results are representative of four separate experiments.

4 Fig. 3 Effect of two different concentrations of gemifloxacin (Gemi) on secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β by LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells. Controls were THP-1 cells stimulated with LPS only. * = p < 0.01.

5 Fig. 4 Northern blot analysis of the effect of different concentrations of gemifloxacin (Gemi) on the expression of TNF-α mRNA in LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells. Controls were THP-1 cells stimulated with LPS only. The mRNA readings were normalised to human β-actin and the signals are expressed as absorbency units.
