Comparative expression of inflammatory proteins in control serum, freshly isolated TBX17.5% fluid and re-harvested TBX17.5% wound fluid 21 hours after subcutaneous dorsal trans-implantation demonstrated three patterns of cytokine expression. Electrochemiluminescence detection of the inflammatory protein IL-1β (Panel A) was significantly increased in the freshly isolated TBX fluid and in the re-harvested TBX wound fluid compared to control serum. Panels B and D show that IL-6 and keratinocyte cytokine (KC) levels were only increased in the re-harvested TBX wound fluid compared to control serum and freshly isolated TBX fluid. On the other hand, TNF-α levels shown in Panel C demonstrated a significant increase in TNF-α only in the freshly isolated TBX fluid compared to control serum and the re-harvested TBX wound fluid after 21 hours of trans-implantation.
