Fig 3 The effect of different inflammatory stimuli on PTX3 expression by human endothelial cells in vitro. Note the different scales on the two graphs. Data are from four replicate experiments conducted in triplicate. LPS, lipopolysaccharide (2 µg ml−1); PepG, peptidoglycan G (20 µg ml−1); TNFα, tumour necrosis factor α (10 ng ml−1); IL-1β, interleukin-1β (20 ng ml−1); C. albicans, heat-killed Candida albicans cells (MOI=3).

Fig 4 The effect of antioxidants on PTX3 and NFκB expression in human endothelial cells treated with TNFα and IL-1β. Data are from four replicate experiments conducted in triplicate and were analysed by the Kruskal–Wallis with Mann–Whitney U post hoc testing. *Significantly lower than cells without antioxidant (P<0.001).
