From: Immunoregulation of bovine macrophages by factors in the salivary glands of Rhipicephalus microplus

Figure 3

Decreased supernatant levels of TNFα and IFN-γ correlate with increased concentrations of R. microplus salivary gland extracts. Cultured bovine macrophages were unstimulated or stimulated for 1 hr with 0, 1, 5, or 10 μg/mL SGE followed by 1, 6, or 24 hrs of 1 μg/mL LPS or no LPS. After 24 hrs, the cell culture supernatant was tested by ELISA. N = 4 independent experiments. * P < 0.05 compared to LPS.
