Production of tumor-necrosis-factor α (TNFα) of human mononuclear cells induced by different concentrations of LPS and lipid A from Salmonella minnesota strain R595 and C. burnetii strain Priscilla. The data result from one representative experiment. The mean and standard deviation are based on the data from the determination of TNFα in duplicate at two different dilutions. A repetition of the experiments yielded the same dependences except for the absolute amount of TNFα-production which may vary significantly between different donors.
