Soluble granzyme A and B were measured by sandwich ELISA (eBioscience; LD 2 pg/ml) in plasma, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Human tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, and IFN-γ were measured by cytometric-bead-array multiplex assay (BD Biosciences; LD 0.5 pg/mL). Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and renal function were measured in plasma with spectrophotometry (Roche Diagnostics) as for previous study [16 (link)].
