Comparing protein concentrations and gene expression of 5 pro-inflammatory cytokines in untreated cells and stimulated cells.

Cells were either left untreated in medium (DMEM), or were stimulated with 1 µgmL−1 LPS (Stim.) for four hours (stimulated). The table provides a comparison in protein concentrations (Protein Conc.) in the cell supernatant and lysates, as well as differences in gene expression. Student's t-test was used to calculate the statistical significance between the two groups (ns: not significant, * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001).
