Data provided in medians and interquartile ranges (25th and 75th). The concentration of cytokines is provided in pg/mL. * p-value determined by Dunn’s test (RPMI vs rhIL-1β). ** p-value determined by Dunn’s test (rhIL-1β vs. rhIL-1β plus ST2825). Not significant (ns). Abbreviations: IL, interleukin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor alpha; IFN-γ, interferon gamma; G-CSF, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; GM-CSF, granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
