Consequently, we analyzed the mRNA levels of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, as well as the antimicrobial peptides TAP, DEFB1, and BNBD5 in LEAS-pretreated bMECs before and after infection. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is infection.
