RBC acquisition of cytokines from cancer cells. Summary of cytokines in the lysates of naïve RBCs before incubation, oRBCs and ccRBCs after incubation (3 days, cultured at a ratio of 1:100 A549:RBCs cell number), and conditioned media from A549 cells cultured alone (A549 CM) as measured by Bio-Plex. Lysate data reported as concentration (100 × 10⁶ cells/mL PBS). Data are presented as box and whisker plots with median concentration (n = 5). Data are statistically significantly different if *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
