    <p>Purified-<i>γδ</i> T cells were incubated with IPP and IL-2 in the presence of different concentrations of plant extracts induced TNF-α production (A) and on γδ T cell proliferation (B) were assessed by Flow Cytometry. Values of <i>p</i><0.05 were considered statistically significant. <i>CTR: Control; TNF-a: Tumor necrosis Factor-alpha; IPP: isopentenyl pyrophosphate.</i></p

    Plant extracts modulate LPS –induced TNF-α production by imDC.

    <p>imDC were generated from monocytes positively separated from PMBC by anti-CD14 magnetic beads and cultured for 5 days in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. Different concentrations of plant extracts were added to imDC in the presence of LPS and TNF-α production was assessed by Flow Cytometry. Values of <i>p</i><0.05 were considered statistically significant. <i>CTR: Control; imDC: immature Dendritic Cells; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor alpha.</i></p

    Evaluation of the chemiluminescence (CL) signal inhibition in presence of different concentrations of plant extracts versus: A) Hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) B) Anion superoxide (O<sub>2</sub>) generated by Xanthine – Xanthine oxidase system.
