Aggregation of IFNβ didn’t increase TLR2 and TLR4 response. (a,b) Betaseron and Rebif were aggregated by stirring as described in M & M. RAW-Blue cells and HEK-Blue hTLR2 and HEK Blue hTLR4 transfected cell lines were cultured for 24 hours in the presence or absence of aggregated and unaggregated samples. (c,d) Aggregation of Avonex was induced by oxidation as described in materials and methods. Both the oxidized and un-oxidized products were tested for immune activation using RAW-Blue cells. Immune activation is measured by quantifying NF-κB from the 24 h culture supernatant colorimeterically. Data is mean ± SD from the triplicate culture.
