Production of IL-6 by stimulated B-cell linesa
| B-cell line | IL-6, pg/ml (mean ± SD)
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Without stimulation | With stimulation | |
| None | <10 | <10 |
| CF-2 | <10 | 315 ± 21 |
| CF-3 | <10 | 313 ± 23 |
| CF-4 | <10 | 2,850 ± 636 |
| CF-9 | <10 | 286 ± 30 |
| CF-11 | <10 | 1,290 ± 304 |
| Control 1 | <10 | 300 ± 64 |
| Control 2 | <10 | 775 ± 163 |
| Control 3 | <10 | 647 ± 92 |
B-cell lines (or none as a background control) were stimulated for 2 days with a PMA-cytokine cocktail. Supernatant fluids were then assayed for IL-6.
