Cytokine levels produced by Monocyte-Derived Macrophages from ascites of patients with HCV-C or ALC-C. A) Cytokine concentration was measured by ELISA in ascites from patients with HCV-C (n = 15) or ALC-C (n = 30) and results were related to M-DM present in ascites. B) M-DM present in ascites were isolated as indicated in Methods and the cytokine concentration was measured by ELISA in cell culture supernatants after 24 h. Results are expressed in pg/106 M-DM and represented as box plot. Circles out of the boxes correspond with outliers. Mann–Whitney U test:* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
