Figure 7From: Treatment with recombinant interferon-β reduces inflammation and slows cartilage destruction in the collagen-induced arthritis model of rheumatoid arthritisIL-6, IL-8, and GM-CSF (granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor) production in synoviocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) after incubation with increasing concentrations of IFN-β, measured in supernatant of fibroblast-like synoviocytes using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Decreased production of (a) IL-6, (b) IL-8, and (b) GM-CSF in RA and OA fibroblast-like synoviocytes after 48 hours' incubation with increasing concentrations of IFN-β.Back to article page
