Figure 5.

The rFgTPx induced polarized patterns of cytokine secretion. Goat PBMCs were incubated for 72 h in the presence or absence of the indicated concentrations of rFgTPx (µg/mL). The levels of cytokine concentration in the supernatant of cultured PBMCs was quantified by ELISA. Graphs represent means ± standard deviations of the results from three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate statistical significance between treated and untreated control goat PBMCs (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001).
