From: Microglial activation state exerts a biphasic influence on brain endothelial cell proliferation by regulating the balance of TNF and TGF-β1

Figure 3

ELISA quantification of TNF (A) and TGF-β1 (B) production by microglia or astrocytes, under resting or LPS-activated conditions. All points are expressed in pg/ml concentration of cytokine and represent the mean ± SEM of 4 experiments. Microglial activation resulted in a massive increase in TNF production (50-fold), while astrocytes produced no TNF, even after LPS stimulation. Activation had no significant influence on TGF-β1 production by either cell type.
