LPS/IFN-γ -stimulated cells were cultured with 31.3 - 1000 mg/L RHP or 1.2 - 38.7 mg/L of GLGPG for 24 h and proteins were quantified by multiparametric analysis (see Materials and Methods). Only the effects of 250 mg/L RHP and 9.7 mg/L GLGPG are shown.

^a protein secreted by stimulated/protein secreted by unstimulated cells

^b p value = significance value between (LPS/IFN-γ)- and (LPS/IFN-γ + substance) -treatment.
