TABLE 1.
Effect of monocyte supernatant fluids on IgG2 productiona
Cultured NP lymphocytes | Origin of Mφb fluids | Mean IgG2 concn (ng/ml) ± SE | n | P |
---|---|---|---|---|
PBL | None | 136 ± 10 | 6 | |
T + B | NP Mφ | 146 ± 20 | 6 | NSd |
T + B | LJP Mφ | 422 ± 49c | 5 | <0.01 |
The final culture contained 50% fresh medium and 50% supernatant fluid.
Mφ, macrophage.
Significantly different from PBL cultured in the absence of macrophage supernatant fluids.
NS, not significantly different from PBL cultured in the absence of macrophage supernatant fluids.
