CXCL2 and infection: This strain-specific difference was also reflected at the level of the genes that were annotated to these processes: genes encoding for the neutrophil chemokines CXCL1, CXCL2, and CXCL5 as well as IL-1β were strongly induced in response to SC5314 on day 1 post-infection, but very poorly in response to 101 at any time point analyzed (Figure 2).
