First, adherent PBMC or sorted CD14+ cells were cultured with IL-4 + GM-CSF for 7 days. On days 3 and 5, 200 μL medium was replaced with new medium including IL-4 (500 U/mL) and GM-CSF (50 ng/mL). After 7 days of culture, LPS (1 μg/mL), TNF-α (10 ng/mL) and/or TOR (5 μmol/L) was added. After an additional 24 hours, the cells were stained for various cell surface markers and analyzed with flow cytometry. The data represent MFIRs (see “Materials and methods”) of 5 individual experiments (mean ± SD).

P < .05 comparing TOR versus control, LPS versus TOR + LPS, and TNF-α versus TOR + TNF-α.
