Figure Lengend Snippet: BBR decreases IgE secretion but not IgG secretion. The expression of IgE by IgE-producing myeloma cells, U266, was determined by ELISA following berberine (BBR) treatment at 10, 5, and 2.5 μg/mL compared to the equivalent concentration of DMSO (0 μg/mL) for 6 days ( A ). The expression of IgG by IgG-producing myeloma cells, ARH-77, was determined by ELISA, treated as U266 ( B ). N = 3–4, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.0001, ns = not significant.
