Fig. 7From: Riboflavin along with antibiotics balances reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokines and controls Staphylococcus aureus infection by boosting murine macrophage function and regulates inflammationLevels of cytokines released in the supernatant as determined by ELISA. Levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (a), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) (b), IL-6(c), IL-1β (d), MCP1(e) and IL-10 (f) in the supernatants collected after 30, 60 and 90 min of Staphylococcus aureus–infected macrophages in the presence or absence of Riboflavin or antibiotics were determined by utilizing ELISA according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and were expressed from triplicate experiments. &, significant difference with respect to CM *, significant difference with respect to SAM; #, significant difference with respect to Riboflavin(RIBO) plus S. aureus infected macrophages at P < 0.05 level of significance.^, significant difference with respect to ciprofloxacin (CIP) or % Significant difference with respect to Azithromycin (AZM) plus S. aureus infected macrophagesBack to article page
