Cecropin-like antimicrobial peptide protects mice from lethal E.coli infection
Fig 2
DAN2 treated mice have reduced bacterial loads both in peritoneal fluid and blood.
Four mice were infected and treated with 0 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg of DAN2 individually and bacterial count was determined after 6 hours of infections. The error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean. The number of asterisks was used to denote the extent of statistical significance amongst groups (* denotes p < 0.05, ** denotes p < 0.005, *** denotes p < 0.0005).
