BLaER1 but not THP-1 monocytes model the LPS response of human PBMCs. After stimulation of human PBMCs, BLaER1 monocytes, and THP-1 monocytes for 16 h with LPS, IL-6 in the supernatant was measured by ELISA. Values correspond to the mean ± SD of n = 2 independent experiments (for BLaER1 and THP-1) or n = 5 donors (for PBMCs).
