Fig. 6From: In vitro response of THP-1 derived macrophages to antimicrobially effective PHMB-coated Ti6Al4V alloy implant material with and without contamination with S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosaCytokine secretion of THP-1 macrophages cultured on PHMB-coated and uncoated Ti6Al4V specimens with and without contamination with S.epidermidis and P.aeruginosa. No significant increase in cytokines was detectable, but S. epidermidis rised cytokine secretion of both TNFα and IL-6Back to article page
