Cells were stimulated with the mediators (20 ng/ml each, except for GM-CSF at 50 ng/ml and M-CSF at 100 ng/ml in PBS containing 5% BSA) for 30 h and then thoroughly washed and replenished with fresh medium for 16 h. Culture supernatants were collected, and cytokine levels were measured.
Data are means ± SE from three replicates. Negative fold change values indicate a decrease. *, P < 0.05 relative to the control. ND, not determined.
