Figure 3. Effect of Tα1 on IL-6 cytokine secretion in PBMCs from healthy donors (HD) and gastric cancer patients (GCa), and in TILs from gastric cancer patients. PBMCs and TILs were cultured with PBS or 1, 10, or 50 µg/mL Tα1 for 72 h. The levels of Th2 cytokines were determined using the Bio-Plex cytokine assay. PBMCs = peripheral blood mononuclear cells; TILs = tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Data are reported as means ± SD for 3 separate experiments (P < 0.05, t-test).
