The effect of different concentrations of GXM and GalXM on the production of IL-12p40 by dendritic cells. Dendritic cells (2 × 105/well) were incubated in the presence of different concentrations (μg/mL) of (A) GXM or (B) GalXM for 24 hours. The culture supernatants were then collected, and ELISA assays were used to determine the amount of the cytokine IL-12p40. The control (100 ng/mL LPS) corresponds to dendritic cells without stimulus. The results represent one of four independent experiments. The asterisks indicate ***P < 0.001 in relation to the control.
