Anti-CD14 and anti-TLR4 monoclonal antibodies neutralized the IL-12-inducing effect of ABH. (A) PBMCs were pre-incubated with anti-CD14, anti-TLR4, anti-TLR2 or control monoclonal antibody at four different doses (1000, 100, 10, 1 ng). Agaricus blazei extract was added after 4 h and incubation was continued for 16 h. IL-12 p40 in supernatants was quantified by ELISA. Data from three independent donors are shown. (B) Cells pre-treated with 1 μg of control monoclonal antibody (b), 1 μg of anti-CD14 antibody (c) or 1 μg of anti-TLR4 antibody (d) were stimulated with ABH for 16 h (b–d). Then, IL-12-producing cells were quantified by flow cytometry. Unstimulated PBMCs (a) were included as controls. Data shown are representative of three independent experiments.
