Effect of IGF-1 and IL-6 on PHA-induced CD95 (Fas) expression on T cell subsets in CB CD3+ T cell culture. CB CD3+ T cells were cultured with PHA (1 μg/mL) ± IGF-1 (100 ng/mL) or IL-6 (10 ng/mL) for 4 days and the expression of CD95 (Fas) on T cell subsets determined by 3 colour flow cytometry. IGF-1 slightly downregulated CD95 expression on T cell subsets while IL-6 slightly upregulated CD95 expression on T cell subsets. Results shown are mean ± SEM of 5 independent cases (* p < 0.05).
