Production of anti-inflammatory or proinflammatory mediators by jacalin-stimulated macrophages. Human macrophages were stimulated with jacalin (2.5 to 40 μg/mL) or LPS (1 μg/mL) during 48 h at 37°C. The supernatant was collected and the levels of cytokines were determined by ELISA. Values represent the mean ± SEM of two independent experiments. ^∗ p ≤ 0,05, ^∗∗ p ≤ 0,01, and ^∗∗∗ p ≤ 0,001 compared to control.
