Culture supernatants and BAL samples were assayed for IL-1β, MIP-1α, TNFα, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, IL-17A and CXCL1 by ELISA. Antibody pairs for the IL-1β (
MAB401 and
BAF401; clone 30311 and polyclonal; R&D Systems; 8 and 4 μg ml
−1, respectively) and CXCL1 (mouse:
MAB453 and
BAF453; clone 48415 and polyclonal; R&D Systems; 8 and 0.4 μg ml
−1, respectively; human:
MAB275, clone 20326, 4 μg ml
−1;
BAF275, polyclonal, 40 ng ml
−1) and CCL3/ MIP-1α (
Quantikine ELISA kit, Product #MMA00) ELISAs were from R&D Systems. Antibody pairs for IL-1α (capture: product #14-7011-85, clone ALF-161; detection: product #13-7111-85, polyclonal), TNFα (capture: product #14-7325-85, clone 1F3F3D4; detection: product #13-7326-85, clones MP6-XT22 and MP6-XT3), IL-6 (capture: product #14-7061-85, clone MP5-20F3; detection: product #13-7062-85, clone MP5-32C11), IL-10 (capture: product #14-7101-85, clone JES5-16E3; detection: product #13-7102-85, clone JES5-2A5) and IL-17A (capture: product #14-7175-85, clone
eBio 17CK15A5; detection: product #13-7177-85, clone eBio17B7) were from eBiosciences and used at a 1:250 dilution. Antibody pairs for IL-18 were from MBL International (capture: product #D047-3, clone 74, 1:1,000; detection: product #D048-6, clone 93-10C, 1:2,000).
