Expression of mRNA for IP10 (a), NFκBi (b), IL-8 (c) and TNFα (c) by porcine monocyte-derived macrophages after stimulation with: 1 μg/ml of lipopolysaccharide (LPS); unpurified lactoferrin (LF unpur) and purified lactoferrin (LF pur) containing 4.10 EU/ml and 0.05 EU/ml, respectively. Cells treated with medium containing 1 pg/ml of LPS (i.e. amount comparable with residual LPS-contamination of LF pur) or cultivated in LPS-free medium were used. Data are shown as mean ± SD, n = 6. Different letters show statistical significance when compared with control (p < 0.05)
