Effect of IGF-1 on IL-6 production in CB CD3+ T cell culture. The level of IL-6 detected in the purified T cell culture was much lower than that observed previously in CBMC. IGF-1 alone induced a slight but significant increase in IL-6 (n = 7; * p = 0.04). PHA alone did not induce IL-6 production (p = 0.44). IGF-1 induced a significant increase in PHA-induced IL-6 production. Results shown are mean ± SEM of 7 independent cases (* p = 0.02).
