aSpontaneous production of IL-1Β is higher in `flare’ ASD-IS cells than in `non-flare’ ASD-IS cells in matched pair analysis as shown in Figure 3. IL-β levels produced spontaneously is also higher than those produced by normal, ASD/NFA, and ASD/non-NFA (P <0.02 for `flare’ ASD-IS cells and P <0.05 for PANS cells).
-
bIL-1ß levels produced by `flare’ ASD-IS cells in response to LPS and zymosan are higher than those by non-flare ASD-IS cells by matched pair analysis as shown in Figure 4. These levels are also higher than those produced by other control cells except for PANS cells.
-
cIL-1ß production by ASD/NFA cells in response to LPS, zymosan, and CL097 are lowest among the study groups (P <0.001).
