2-AA pretreatment alters the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines upon 2-AA stimulation in macrophages.
Levels of TNF-α (A), IFN-γ (B), and TGF-β (C), following 6 h stimulation of 2-AA as measured by ELISA. The experiments were performed in triplicate and the results are expressed as means ± SD. (p<0.05, one-way ANOVA).
