Effect of rleptin on cytokine gene expression in cord blood and adult peripheral blood T-cells and monocytes≠.

≠Results from RT-PCR performed on purified cb and adult CD3+ T-cells and CD14+ monocytes cultured for 8h ± rleptin. The numbers denote positive samples; in parentheses, the range of gene intensities in pixels for the positive samples (#Students’ t-test, P*adult monocyte samples that did not express any of the cytokine genes tested in CM and responded to rleptin; rleptin did not affect the IL-10 expression of the 6 positive samples in CM (¥).
