DHA prevents cytokine production in LPS-treated DC. CD11c+ DC (2 × 106/ml for IL-10 or 1 × 106/ml for TNFα, IL-6 and CCL-4) were treated with various concentrations of DHA for 24 h followed by LPS (0.1 μg/ml) for an additional 24 h. Supernatants were harvested and assayed for IL-6, CCL-4, IL-10 and TNFα by ELISA. Two independent cultures were tested in triplicate. Results are expressed as mean +/- SD. * p < 0.01, #p < 0.05, compared to LPS-treated samples (no DHA).
