From: Cytokine profiles of filarial granulomas in jirds infected with Brugia pahangi
Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα released by granulomas. Granulomas were cultured in vitro for 6, 24, and 48 h with or without B. pahangi worm antigen and secreted TNFα levels were measured in the supernatants using a WEHI-cell culture assay. Results are expressed as U/ml. Supernatants from jird lymph node cells stimulated with Con-A and culture medium served as positive and negative controls.
