Suppressive Effect of Hydroquinone, a Benzene Metabolite, on In Vitro Inflammatory Responses Mediated by Macrophages, Monocytes, and Lymphocytes

Figure 6

Effect of hydroquinone on surface expression of costimulatory molecules. (a) and (b) RAW264.7 or U937 cells ( ) were incubated with indicated concentrations of HQ (hydroquinone) in the presence or absence of LPS (2  g/mL) for 24 hours. The surface expression of CD80 and CD86 was determined by flow cytometric analysis as described in Section 2. represents significant difference as compared to control.
