Jacalin-Activated Macrophages Exhibit an Antitumor Phenotype

Figure 5

Effects of jacalin on the expression of mediators by macrophages. Macrophages were stimulated with jacalin (20 or 40 μg/mL) or LPS (1 μg/mL) during 4 h. Expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, MIP-1α, and iNOS mRNA was determined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Each column represents the mean ± SEM of independent observations in three separate experiments. and compared to control.
