Introducing new elements to the established training and resilience protocol to generate a macrophage model system. The protocol of in vitro training and induced resilience including the addition of M-CSF during step I-III and a prolonged incubation (i.e., day 2 to 6 instead of day 1) with β-glucan in the macrophage model is depicted in (A) Results from training (B) and induced resilience (C) in presence or absence of M-CSF and prolonged presence of β-glucan are shown in a bar graph as average pg/ml TNF-α ± SD of n = 5 different donors. Data was analyzed with paired Student’s t test and statistical significances were indicated: *P < 0.05 compared to the medium control; **P < 0.01 compared to the medium control; #P < 0.05 compared to the LPS control.
