THP-1 response to tick saliva in the context of B. burgdorferi as measured via cytokine bead array. THP-1 supernatants collected after 2 and 12 h of stimulation with B. burgdorferi alone or in addition to saliva. The zero (baseline) is the level of stimulation with Bb only and the fold-change indicates that imparted by the addition of saliva. Supernatant analyte levels were measured in ng/ml for each time point and compared to determine the effect saliva had on the response of monocytes to B. burgdorferi
