Effect of L. intermedia SGS on cytokine production of LPS-stimulated human monocytes infected with L. braziliensis. Monocytes were pre-treated with SGS overnight, stimulated with LPS for 4 h and infected with L. braziliensis for 4 hours. The presence of IL-10 (A), TNF-α (B), IL-6 (C) and IL-8 (D) was analyzed by ELISA. The data for individual donors are presented. (*p < 0.05). (n = 8).
