Cytokine induction in human whole blood by free-soluble material released by live E. coli. A cytokine antibody array was used to detect cytokines produced by human whole blood after stimulation for 6 h with free-soluble material released from planktonic E. coli IHE3034 (panel a), compared with a corresponding negative control (serum [50% in PBS] containing no bacteria) (panel b). The experiment was carried out in the presence of polymyxin B (PMB). The locations of cytokine antibodies and positive (pos) and negative (neg) controls on the array are indicated (panel c).
