Spontaneous inflammatory cytokine production by LP cells in mice with DSS-inducted colitis.
LPL from colon of DSS-treated IL-21RKO or C57BL/6 mice was isolated and cultured for 24 h without any stimulation. The level of cytokine production in culture supernatant was measured using ELISA kits. Data indicate mean ± SD of 8 mice of each group obtained from a representative of three independent experiments. Statistically significant differences from the value for DSS-treated C57BL/6 mice are shown (*P < 0.05).
