HCV-specific cytokine induction in monocytes of patients with different outcomes of hepatitis C

Figure 1 Contour plots of cytokine expression in CD14+ cells. These contour plots show representative experiments for the detection of spontaneous expression (buffer control, left column) and HCV NS5b-induced expression (1 μg/mL, right column) of IL-1β (a), IL-10 (b), IL-12 (c) and TNF-((d) in peripheral blood CD14+ monocytes of patient # 23 with chronic hepatitis C at 12 hours of incubation.
