Cytokines and nitric oxide concentration in PBMC supernatants cultures. PBMC (5 × 106 cells/ml) of patients with ABD and healthy controls were cultured with or without 5 μg/ml phytohemagglutnin (PHA) for 20 h. Supernatants were collected and the production level of lL-12 (A) and IL-4 (B) was determined by a sandwich ELISA. Values shown are mean ± S.D.*p < 0.001 was significantly different from the control value. C. Concentration of nitric oxide in the supernatants of culture of PBMC from patients with Adamantiades-Behçet's disease and healthy controls. Cells were treated with 5 μg/mL of PHA. Supernatants were collected after 20 h and the nitrite level was determined by modified Griess reaction. The data represent the mean ± S.D. of cultures. *p < 0.05. NO levels were significantly different from the control values.
