Figure Lengend Snippet: PS-L beneficially modulates pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-10 production over the course of Mab infection on pwCF macrophages. MDM from pwCF ( n = 6) were cultured at the concentration of 1x10 6 cells/ml in 96-well plates. Cells were infected or not with Mab at MOI 10 for 3 hours at 37°C and then extracellular bacilli were killed by 1 hour incubation with amikacin 250µg/ml. Cells were finally stimulated or not with PS-L for 3 (A, C, E) or 18 hours (B, D, F) and supernatants harvested and stored at -20 °C until analysis. The production of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-10 was analyzed by ELISA as per manufacturer’s instructions. Baseline cytokines range levels from uninfected and untreated controls are displayed in the background as mean ± 95% CI. Statistical analysis was performed by using two-sided Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. ns = not significant; *p<0.05.
Article Snippet: The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-10 were measured by human TNF-α, IL-1β, or IL-10 DuoSet ® ELISA Development Systems (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) as per manufacturer’s instructions.
