Figure 6.
Cytokines expressed by PBMCs. Plots showing bead-array results of cytokine levels detected in supernatants of PBMC cultures from healthy donors and patients with early-stage sepsis. PBMCs were treated as shown in Figure 5a and b with 0.5 ng/ml LPS and increasing trimodulin concentrations (grey symbols: healthy donors; n = 3) or after trimodulin treatment alone (black symbols: patients with early stage sepsis; n = 3).
