Levels of cytokines secreted by human monocytes, macrophages (HMDMs), and iDCs were measured by Luminex multiplex analysis. Significant increases (↑,↑) and decreases (↓,↓) in cytokine levels triggered by C1q for the conditions indicated are shown. Differences that did not reach statistical significance are noted (–). Data are representative of at least three individual experiments per condition. Bold (↑,↓, –) indicates a response different from that in monocytes.
