Cytokines and chemokines in (Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) BAFL. The BALF supernatant was collected after centrifugation at 18 h after ALI. The expression of TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-13, TGF-β, CCL4 and CCL5 in BAFL was measured by ELISA. The expression of TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6, IL-12p40, CCL4 and CCL5 decreased in the MP-treated group. However, MP treatment increased the level of IL-4, IL-10, IL-13 and TGF-β. Data were shown as mean ± S.D.; n = 5 mice per group. ELISA enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay
