Effects of the rhZPI-Y387A variant on the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α in whole blood activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Comparison with wild-type rhZPI (ZPI) effects. Cytokines were quantified after a 20 hours incubation. rhZPI-Y387A or rhZPI were added at 250 nM 30 min before the addition of LPS (10 ng/mL). Results are expressed as percentages of IL-6 or TNF-α production in the absence of ZPI (controls) which were considered arbitrarily as 100%. Results (mean ± 1 SEM) are the average of 6 independent experiments in triplicate. ### p  < 0.001 as compared to the production of cytokines in the presence of LPS alone, ***  < 0.001 as compared to the production of cytokines in the presence of wild-type ZPI (Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test following one-way ANOVA).
