Table 2. Quantitation of IL-6 secretion by HepG2 and Bel-7404 cells.
Cell line | Growth factor | pg/48 h/105 cells (mean ± S.E.M.) |
---|---|---|
HepG2 | IL-6 | 212 ± 8.12 |
Bel-7404 | IL-6 | 35 ± 4.33 |
Concentration of HCC-secreted IL-6. The culture medium was collected 48 h after seeding. The quantitation of IL-6 was performed by ELISA according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The result was expressed by mean ± S.E.M. from at least three independent measurements.
