1 IL-1-containing supernatants from drug-treated macrophages at dilutions of up to 1:32 resulted in enhanced thymocyte proliferation compared to control, non-drug-treated cultures and contained less than 2 ng/ml of PGE2. Dinoprostone interleukin 1 complex Mus musculus
2 Exogenous PGE2, in the concentration range produced in macrophage supernatants (10-20 ng/ml), directly inhibited IL-1-stimulated thymocyte proliferation. Dinoprostone interleukin 1 complex Mus musculus
3 Finally, when macrophages were stimulated with LPS for 24 hr in the presence of added PGE2, thymocyte proliferation was inhibited at the lowest supernatant dilutions, but as the IL-1-containing supernatants were diluted out, the assay curves were indistinguishable from non-PGE2-treated control. Dinoprostone interleukin 1 complex Mus musculus
