Fig. 2From: Induction of immune gene expression and inflammatory mediator release by commonly used surgical suture materials: an experimental in vitro studyPro-/Anti-Inflammatory Marker Ratio. A pro-/anti-inflammatory marker ratio was produced for all sutures, by dividing the value for fold-increase in IL-1β gene expression, by the value for fold-increase in IL-1RA gene expression, over all time pointsBack to article page
