Percentages of proliferating cells and cells in apoptosis of PBMC cultures of an allergic donor stimulated for four days with medium alone, polyclonal stimulation with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 antibodies, or in the presence of Citrus/Cydonia undiluted preparation. In the supernatants of these cultures, cytokines were measured by flow cytometric analysis in the Bead Assay Flex Sets system. Cytokine levels in pg/mL.^*All results are described with standard deviations (SDs).
