Table 1.

A compilation of T cell related pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in μG experiments organized by the least to the most advanced method of μG exposure and duration of the experiment. T cells were taken from human blood, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), mice, rats, Jurkat T cells, and OTII-TCH cells. Single-headed arrows (↓↑) indicate an increase or decrease, double-headed arrows (↟↡) indicate a significant increase or decrease, and slashes (/) indicate no change.
