Induction by TNF- of IL-6 and IL-8 in Cystic Fibrosis Bronchial IB3-1 Epithelial Cells Encapsulated in Alginate Microbeads
Figure 7
Analysis of the mRNA levels (a) and release (b) of interleukins 6 and 8 (IL-6, IL-8) by IB3-1 cells. Data are referred to control free cells growing as monolayer (control) and cells encapsulated in alginate microbeads (CAPS). Both free and encapsulated cells were cultured for 24 hours, in the absence (open bars) or in the presence of TNF- (80 ng/mL) (closed bars). Data represent the average SD ().
