IL-10 expression. (A) ELISA revealed both AcES and TcES to be capable of increasing IL-10 secretion by canine PBMCs. For AcES this effect was more obvious at 15 µg/mL. In contrast, TcES-associated IL-10 secretion was stronger at 150 µg/mL and was only detected when cells were co-stimulated with LPS. (B) For analysis of intracellular IL-10 staining, PBMCs were gated on lymphocytes and monocytes based on side (SSC) and forward scatter (FSC) morphology. This revealed (C) lymphocytes but not (D) monocytes to be responsible for ES-induced IL-10 expression and the effect was independent from stimulation with LPS. P-values were calculated according to Wilcoxon signed rank test (ELISA without LPS stimulation) or paired t-test (ELISA with LPS stimulation, intracellular cytokine staining). Error bars show standard error of mean (SEM). Experiments were repeated six times at two different time points.
