Cytokine and Chemokine Production in Supernatants
Cell line | IL-6 | TNF-α | MCP-1 | IL-8 | RANTES | MIP-1α |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
HTEC-1 | 100 | 117 | 11923 | 797 | 6463 | 130 |
HTEC-2 | 522 | 118 | 14594 | 640 | 5350 | 196 |
HTEC-4 | 254 | 110 | 13573 | nd | 5975 | 178 |
MITC | 16 | 370 | 14588 | 4793 | 326 | 79 |
Cytokine and chemokine concentrations (pg/ml) in the supernatants of three epithelial cell lines (HTEC-1, -2, and -4) and in the MITC line were assayed by ELISA. Results are expressed as means of duplicate measures.
