The relative quantification of 10 genes was calculated by normalizing the ratio of the mean copy number for each gene with the mean copy number of the reference AFAP gene in MPs from five donors. Statistically significant differences (-value < 0.05) between the two cytokine treatments as assessed by Student's -test are represented by an asterisk
