Monocytes, Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells, and THP-1 Cells Exhibit Different Cytokine Expression Patterns following Stimulation with Lipopolysaccharide

Figure 2

Cytokine release upon stimulation of THP-1, PBMC, and monocytes with lipopolysaccharide. Cultures of one million cells per mL of medium containing 10 vol% plasma were stimulated with 10 ng per mL of LPS from P. aeruginosa (black circles). Unstimulated cultures served as control (white circles). Concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-1beta are given as mean ± SD ( ).
