Tonsil
(ng/ml ± SD)		 Cervix
(ng/ml ± SD)		 Cervix/Tonsil
(ng/ml ± SD)
Cytokines
IL-1β 0.01 ± 0.003 0.04 ± 002 0.5 ± 0.002
IL-6 0.32 ± 0.158 1.0 ± 6.0 1.1 ± 3.5
IL-8 0.98 ± 2.3 1.1 ± 0.05 1.1 ± 0.08
IFNγ 0.08 ± 0.04 0.002 ± 0.001 0.017 ± 0.003
TNFα 0.01 ± 0.008 0.001 ± 0.003 0.014 ± 0.007

Cytokine measurements from basolateral culture supernatant shown here represent secreted cytokines after 72 hr. in culture. Cytokines measurements at 24 and 48 hr in culture showed similar results as in 72 hr. culture.
