From: Comparative assessment of commercially available wound gels in ex vivo human skin reveals major differences in immune response-modulatory effects

Figure 1

Quantification of cytokines in superficially wounded ex vivo skin treated with commercially available wound gels. Shown are (a) IL-6, (b) IL-8, (c) IL-10, (d) MMP2 concentration levels in culture supernatants of 48 h cultured human tape-stripped (TS) skin biopsies topically treated with indicated wound gels as well as a TS untreated control. Samples were analysed in duplicates with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data is presented as a mean ± standard deviation. A Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test was performed with GraphPad Prism 9.3.1. *p ≤ 0.05; n = 6, female donors, location: abdomen, age range: 20–45 years (panel 1).
