From: Ancylostoma ceylanicum infective third-stage larvae are activated by co-culture with HT-29-MTX intestinal epithelial cells

Fig. 3

Ancylostoma ceylanicum iL3 are maximally activated by differentiated IECs. Mature, 21-day-old cultures of HT-29-MTX maximally activate Ace iL3 compared to 7- and 14-day cultures (*P = 0.0058 and P = 0.0266, respectively). Direct contact with the cells induces greater activation than no direct contact (P = 0.014). Each bar represents the mean of three trials, each with n > 50. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Data from each trial was normalized to the percent activation observed in observed in cell-free controls
