Listeria monocytogenes induces de novo synthesis of cytokines by mast cells. 2.5x105 BMMC/0.25 mL of complete medium were stimulated with L.m for 24 h at the MOI indicated. Mediator levels were evaluated in culture supernatants by ELISA. (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-1β, (C) IL-6, (D) IL-13 and (E) MCP-1. (The figure shows the sum of 3 independent experiments, n=3 per group and for each mediator; *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001; N.D, Not detected; One Way ANOVA test).
