Figure 1. Astragalus and elderberry extracts modulate IL-12 and IL10 production in dendritic cells.

Figure 1

Astragalus root (A, C) and elderberry fruit (B, D) extracts enhance IL-12 (A, B) and IL-10 (C, D) production when added to murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells at concentrations from 15 to 500 µg/mL 30 min prior to stimulation with L. acidophilus (10 µg/mL) but not with E. coli (10 µg/mL). Supernatants were harvested for ELISA after 20 hr incubation. The results are representative of at least 3 experiments. Error bars are representative of the LSD intervals. The difference between 2 groups was considered significant when the LSD intervals did not overlap (p-value<0.05).
