Altered pattern of tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in peripheral blood monocytes from Crohn's disease

Figure 5 Correlation of monocyte tumor necrosis factor-alpha expression and LPS-binding protein levels in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Correlation between monocyte expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and plasmatic level of LBP in patients affected by Crohn’s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) and in healthy subjects (HD). The squared Pearson correlation coefficients (R²) are shown. No statistical significances were found.
