Figure 5. Lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine releases induced in PBMC cultures of AD patients and non-allergic individuals by stimulation with S. aureus and E. coli protein extracts.

Figure 5

(A) PBMCs from AD or non-atopic (NA) individuals were stimulated with S. aureus extract, E. coli extract or medium (MC). Mean lymphoproliferative responses of triplicate determinations were measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation and are displayed as stimulation indices. Horizontal lines denote the median value of each group. (B) The amounts of released cytokines are presented and horizontal lines denote the median value of each group.
