Figure 8. MS diet decreases production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in stimulated T cells.

CD3+ T cells were stimulated with ConA in the presence of IL-2 for 72 h. The levels of IL-17, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-2 in the conditioned media were measured as described in Methods. Results shows mean ± SEM and are representative of 2 independent experiments performed in triplicate. 17 wk: N = 5 control and 5 MS mice; 28 wk: N = 7 control and 7 MS mice. *p<0.05, **p<0.01. ***p<0.001.
