Allergy or Tolerance: Reduced Inflammatory Cytokine Response and Concomitant IL-10 Production of Lymphocytes and Monocytes in Symptom-Free Titanium Dental Implant Patients

Table 2

Spontaneous cytokine production by the ex vivo obtained PBMC of the 20 individuals. Cytokine levels were assessed in supernatants of unstimulated (e.g., only culture medium) 6 d cultures.
