Cytokine/chemokine expression in serum samples from brick kiln workers in Bhaktapur, Nepal, March 2023. Inflammatory mediators were screened in pooled serum samples obtained from study participants from each job category. Compared to administrative personnel, there was significantly more IFN-g, TNF-a, IL-1a, and IL-1b detected in serum from fire masters, green brick hand molders, and top loaders (A–D). Significant differences in mediator abundance are noted as * p ≤ 0.05.
