From: Mitogen-stimulated cell proliferation and cytokine production in major depressive disorder patients
PBMCs from 100 MDD patients and another 100 healthy people were stimulated by LPS and PHA, then the cell proliferation levels were detected with a MTT kit and cytokine IL-1α, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ were detected with ELISA kits. a The LPS and PHA stimulated PBMCs proliferation ratio (test/control) in MDD patients. b Cytokines of PBMCs after LPS stimulation; c Cytokines of PBMCs after PHA stimulation; d Cytokines in plasma. Data presented as means ± SD. Significantly different from controls were signed with * (p < 0.05)
