Effect
of treatment with anti-IL-10 mAb on cytokine secretion by cocultured
(deactivated) monocytes restimulated with tumor cells. Cytokine
release by tumor cell-stimulated control monocytes was 3359 ±
4724 pg/ml, 1082 ± 449 pg/ml, and 547 ± 459 for
TNF-alpha, IL-10, and IL-12, respectively. Cytokine release by
monocytes that were cocultured and restimulated with tumor cells
in the presence of isotype control for anti-IL-10 mAb (medium)
was 1895 ± 3790 pg/ml, 1565 ± 396 pg/ml, and 39
± 67 pg/ml for TNF-alpha, IL-10, and IL-12, respectively.
The results are expressed as a percentage of the control monocyte
response after stimulation with tumor cells. The means of three
independent experiments are shown, with error bars corresponding
to 1 SD.
