(a) Secretion of IL-6 protein in human bone marrow cells IL-6 secretion in hBMCs cultures with and without LPS stimulation for 24, 48, and 96 hours. LPS concentrations were 0 μg/mL, 0.1 μg/mL or 1 μg/mL. The amount of IL-6 in cell-free culture supernatants was analyzed by ELISA. (b) secretion of IL-6 protein in human gingival fibroblasts Secretion of IL-6 in hGFs with or without LPS stimulation for 24, 48, and 96 hours. LPS concentrations were 0 μg/mL, 0.1 μg/mL or 1 μg/mL. The amount of IL-6 in cell-free culture supernatants was analyzed by ELISA.
