Fig 2. The Production of IL-6 and TNFα by Cells Derived from Pseudotumor Tissue.

Samples of pseudotumor tissue were degraded by enzyme digestion and cell suspensions were cultured for 42 hours. Thereafter IL-6 (A) and TNFα (B) accumulated into the culture medium were measured by ELISA. Boxplots represent medians and interquartile ranges and whiskers indicate range of values. n = 7 in macrophage-dominated group, n = 5 in T-lymphocyte-dominated group and n = 3 in mixed group. *p<0.05.
