From: Early induction of C/EBPβ expression as a potential marker of steroid responsive colitis
Hydrocortisone treatment significantly upregulated antigen specific IL2 production. Mesenteric lymph node (MLN) cytokine profiling in response to T. muris infection and steroid treatment. MLN cells were stimulated in vitro with T. muris specific E/S-antigen for 24 hours. The supernatant was analysed by cytokine bead array. IL-2 (p = 0.003) was significantly elevated after steroid therapy. Data are expressed for individual mice, and as mean value ± SD (n = 5 Naïve and Infected groups, n = 4 Infected + Steroid group).
