From: (R)-albuterol decreases immune responses: role of activated T cells
(R)-albuterol decreases cytokine mRNA levels in activated T cells. (R)-albuterol, (S)-albuterol or racemic albuterol (R + S) at a dose (10-6 M) were added to T (EL-4) cells pre-activated with mitogens Concanavalin A (Con A, 5 μg/ml) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, 100 ng/ml) (CP). RNA was isolated. Levels of IL-2, IL-13 and IL-6 (A, B, C) were measured by real time PCR. Fold change is the ratio of stimulated to unstimulated sample. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 3) *p < 0.05 (CP vs R).
