 This study found that THP1 cells produce less cytokines than monocytes and PBMC when exposed to pseudomonas aeruginosa. The authors also demonstrated that specific adsorption of TNF-alpha or selective cytokine adsorption from the conditioned media prior to Huvik stimulation reduces Huvik activation. This suggests that THP1 cells may be better suited for use in cell culture models than other cell types. This article was authored by Anita Schildberger, Eva Rosmanith, Tonya Eichhorn, and others.
