Production of TNF and IL-10 by macrophages from HTLV-1 infected subjects.

<p>Macrophages from healthy subjects (HS), HTLV-1 carriers (HC) and from HAM/TSP patients were cultured without stimulus, or with LPS for 48 hours to evaluate (A) TNF and (B) IL-10 productions. ELISA was used to measure these cytokines levels. Data is represented by median and range. Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn's post test (* <i>P</i><0.05) and Wilcoxon T test (# <i>P</i><0.05) were used for statistical analyses.
