Figure 9. IL-17 release increases in a concentration-dependent manner in response to iHg treatment.

Figure 9

PBMCs isolated from six volunteers were treated with the specified concentrations of each mercury species (up to 200 nM) in the presence of 50 ng/ml LPS. IL-17 was measured in cell culture supernatants after 24 hours in culture. Results are shown for cells treated with iHg (A), EtHg (B), and MeHg (C). P[Hg] represents the p-value for the trend in Hg effect in the concentration-response curve. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
