Fig. 5. Inhibitory activity of G. elliptica extract on IL-12 p40 (A), IL-6 (B), and TNF-α (C) production by LPS-stimulated BMDCs. DCs were treated with the indicated concentration of the extract for 1 h before stimulation with LPS (10 ng/ml). Supernatants were harvested 16 h after stimulation. Concentrations of murine IL-12 p40, IL-6, and TNF-α in the culture supernatants were determined by ELISA. The data were presented as inhibition activity (%) compared to the value of vehicle-treated BMDCs.
