Treatment with the anti-oxidant N-acetylcystein (NAC) did not reverse the inhibitory effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on the phenotype and the secretion of cytokines by monocyte-derived dendritic cell (MDDC) activated by S. pneumoniae (Sp). The expression of (a) CD83 and the secretion of (b) IL-23 by MDDC treated or not with NAC and then exposed to CSE and Sp for 24 h were evaluated by flow cytometry and ELISA, respectively. Data are reported as mean ± S.E.M of 6 experiments. There was no statistical difference between groups
