We have shown that hypoxia (2% O2 approximately pO2 14 mmHg) as opposed to O2 atmospheric pressure (20.9% O2 approximately pO2 140 mmHg) can deeply affect the production of cytokines in human peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMC) in the presence or absence of a specific T-cell activator such as phytoh

The effects of laser light on the immune system have not been extensively characterized. Low-power laser sources, such as the helium-neon (He-Ne) laser with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, have been found to produce photobiological effects with evidence of interference with immunological functions. We hav
We evaluated the effects of a 50-Hz pulsed electromagnetic field on the production of cytokines by both resting and mitogen-treated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Our results demonstrate that after exposure of normal cells to EMFs for 12 h, the levels of neither interleukin-1beta, nor interleuk
## Abstract Plasma leakage in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is associated with elevated plasma levels of cytokines. To define further the contribution of immune activation to DHF and the source of cytokines, we analyzed the production of cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtai
