Cells (1 × 105/mL) were cultured in CM with or without 20 μg/mL antimouse IL-17 monoclonal antibody. Cell-free supernatants were collected after 48 hours and assayed for the production of IL-6 by ELISA. Tumor cells transduced withIL-17 gene produced more IL-6 in response to IL-17 produced by themselves.
