Mouse mast cell response to Borrelia OspC-KO. Primary MCs from C57BL/6 mice were activated with medium (Ø) Borrelia burgdorferi (s.s.) (Bb) 297 (Wt), Bb OspC-KO (OspC-KO) or Bb OspC-complemented strains (OspC-Compl.) (MOI 50:1). After 24 h, supernatants were collected to measure IL-6 concentration by ELISA (a). After 6 h RNAs were collected to measure IL-6 and MCP-1 mRNA expression (b, c). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
