Cytokines released by LPS-treated human PBMCs (TNFα and IL-12) or buffy coat cells (IL-5) were measured by ELISA and concentrations that caused 50% inhibition (IC50) were determined. Values are displayed as geometric means with 95% confidence limits in parentheses and number of experiments in brackets.
