Figure 5. In vivo induction of cytokines by PTE10 in mouse primary splenocytes. Oral administration of PTE10 enhanced secretion of cytokines in mouse primary splenocytes (A) Expression of IL-1β in primary splenocytes fed PTE10 (500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight). (B) Expression of IL-2 in splenocytes fed PTE10 (500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight). (C) Expression of IL-4 in splenocytes fed PTE10 (500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight). (D) Expression of IFN-γ in splenocytes fed PTE10 (500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight). (E) Expression of iNOS in splenocytes fed PTE10 (500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight). *P < 0.05 compared to control
