Fig. 3From: Combination therapy of menstrual derived mesenchymal stem cells and antibiotics ameliorates survival in sepsisMenSCs modulate the response of the host immune system to sepsis. At 24 and 40 hours after CLP-induced sepsis and treatment administration, blood samples were obtained to determine the serum concentration of the inflammatory cytokines (a) TNF-α, (b) MCP-1, (c) IL-6, and (d) IL-10 using a Cytometric Bead Array and analyzed by flow cytometry (sham, n = 6; saline, n = 3–11; AB, n = 4–6; MenSCs, n = 5–6; MenSCs + AB, n = 6). Histograms represent the mean ± standard error.
