Both TgROP18 and TgROP18 induce STAT3 activation in HaCaT cells. a HaCaT were infected with indicated parasites for 30 min. Cell lysates were examined for STAT3 activation by WB. b Densitometric quantitation of STAT3 phosphorylation was applied with Image J and normalized to the total STAT3. Statistical analysis was conducted with the Kruskal-Wallis H-test with Bonferroni correction (*P < 0.05), and error bars show the standard errors of the mean for three independent experiments
