Concentrations of selected cytokines associated with Th17 cell differentiation and activity in BM plasma of RA and OA patients. All cytokine concentrations detected using specific ELISAs. a–d Concentration of IL-6, IL-1β, IL-23 and TGF-β (OA n = 13–15; RA n = 10–14). e, f Concentrations of IFN-γ and IL-4 (OA n = 28–29; RA n = 27). g Concentration of TNF-α (OA n = 14; RA n = 12). h Concentration of CCL20 (OA n = 35; RA n = 28). Differences between groups were calculated using Mann–Whitney U test.
