Effect of moxifloxacin on production of TNF-α by PBMCs^a

Treatment	TNF-α concn (pg/ml) with the following stimulus:
	LPS	E. coli	LTA	S. pneumoniae
Stimulus only	3,066 ± 249	1,372 ± 175	341 ± 30	1,159 ± 63
Stimulus and:
moxifloxacin (10 μg/ml)	1,072 ± 23b	720 ± 75b	164 ± 22b	912 ± 97
levofloxacin (10 μg/ml)	1,472 ± 45b	908 ± 322	209 ± 82	920 ± 132
ceftriaxone (250 μg/ml)	1,208 ± 237b	1,076 ± 16	264 ± 54	917 ± 433

^aThe concentrations were measured by ELISA. The values are means ± standard errors of the means for quadruplicate measurements.

^bP < 0.05 compared to the result for each stimulus only.
