Modified Huo-Luo-Xiao-Ling Dan Suppresses Adjuvant Arthritis by Inhibiting Chemokines and Matrix-Degrading Enzymes
Figure 3
Inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines in HLXL-treated arthritic rats. Lymph node cells (LNCs) harvested on d 18 (peak phase of arthritis) from HLXL-fed or water-fed rats were cultured for 24 h with or without sonicated Mtb. The culture supernatants were tested for IL-6 (a) and IL-17 (b) using a multiplex assay. The results were expressed as Δpg/mL. The results are representative of two independent experiments. (Mtb = heat-killed M. tuberculosis H37Ra).
