Relative concentrations of secreted cytokines (mean + SEM for n = 4–6) normalized to cell viability after 24 h incubation of macrophages on variously treated Ti6Al4V surfaces (H = H2O2-oxidized, N = NaOH-treated, HP/NP = PHMB coated after H2O2- or NaOH-processing with adsorbed amounts of PHMB in brackets, and controls with free PHMB). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001 significantly different from the control
