PBS served as negative and LPS as positive control. Each bar represents the mean value of six independent experiments representing 6 different probands. The standard deviation is depicted by the error bars. # significant (p < 0.05) when compared to unstimulated cells. * significant (p < 0.05) when compared to unstimulated cells and cells treated with corn starch
