Stimulated Serum Dilution Series: Description of endogenous cytokines elevated via stimulated PBMCs and then serially diluted using serum from the healthy controls plus predicted concentrations of cytokines in the dilution series.
| Type | Measured Cytokines | Dilution Factor | Diluent Type | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elevated Endogenous Cytokines | IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α | 16 | Serum from healthy controls | ||
| Cytokine | Dilution 0 (pg/ml) | Dilution 1 (pg/ml) | Dilution 2 (pg/ml) | Dilution 3 (pg/ml) | Dilution 4 (pg/ml) |
| IL-1β | 3108 | 194 | 12 | 0.8 | 0.05 |
| IL-6 | 4898 | 306 | 19 | 1.2 | 0.07 |
