(A) Plasma cytokine levels on day 1 and day 5 samples from survivors (n = 8–9) and non-survivors (n = 7–8). Results are expressed as pg/mL, mean ± standard error of the mean. Dotted line represents mean levels on healthy volunteer plasma (n = 5). (B) IL4 was detected by immunoblotting on peripheral blood mononuclear cells of acutely decompensated (AD) patients and healthy volunteers (HV). Expression of GAPDH was used as input loading control. ACLF, acute-on-chronic liver failure; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; IL, interleukin; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
