Total production of GM-CSF, IL-12, IL-1β, IL-10, MIP-1β, and IFN-γ in human precision-cut lung slices after 24 h of incubation with lipopolysaccharide and dexamethasone (Switalla et al. 2010). Cytokine levels in culture supernatants and after lyses were determined by MSD technology. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.005 (GM-CSF, IL-12, IFN-γ, and MIP-1β: n = 3, IL-1β and IL-10: n = 6). dxm, dexamethasone, GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, IFN, interferon, IL, interleukin, int, intracellular, MIP, macrophage inflammatory protein.
