Effects of dexamethasone (DEX, 1 μM) on release of IL-1β (a) and IL-6 (b) in supernatants after type 14 rhinovirus (RV14), or sham (control) infection. Effects of DEX were examined at maximal production of each cytokine after RV14 infection. Results are reported as means ± S.E.M. from 7 samples. Significant difference from corresponding control values are indicated by ∗P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. Significant difference from RV infection alone are indicated by ⁺⁺ P < 0.01 (Cited from [36]).
