FIG. 3.

Interleukin-stimulated murine GM-CSF release from Hep3B cells transfected with CRP/GM-CSF fusion constructs pGM-BNB, or pGM-C79, with or without stimulation with IL-1β and IL-6. Murine GM-CSF was quantified by ELISA in cell lysates. The combined results from either three (pGM-BNB) or four (pGM-C79) separate experiments are shown. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Fold induction (stimulated compared to unstimulated) is indicated at the end of each stimulated bar. ✽, Significant increase in murine GM-CSF expression after stimulation with IL-1β and IL-6 (5% > P > 1%).
