Healthy patients and those with adenomas exhibit similar serum cytokine profiles. Serum samples from healthy individuals and those with adenomas were subjected to cytokine analysis using the Human Cytokine/ Chemokine Magnetic Bead Panel protocol from Milliplex®. Shown are the concentrations of selected proinflammatory cytokines (A), chemokines (B), cytokines that activate T-cell responses (C), and those that regulate T-cell polarization/ differentiation (D). The levels of IL-7 in all of the analyzed samples were not significantly different between non-adenoma and adenoma positive study participants (data not shown). MIP-1β and GM-CSF were undetectable in most samples and found only at low levels in samples that were included in the cytokine analysis (data not shown).
