Fig. 1 Chromatographic profiles of Camel, Marlboro, and Carlton smoke extracts. The chromatographic profiles of Camel (A) , Marlboro (B) , and Carlton (C) extracts were determined by using reverse-phase HPLC monitored with a UV detector at 280 nm and an electrochemical detector at 0.7 V (inset) . The results are representative of 8 separate experiments. H , Peak for hydroquinone; C , peak for catechol; EC, electrical current.

Fig. 2 Effects of Camel smoke extract on IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-2, and IFN-γ production by human PBMCs. PBMCs (1 × 106/mL) were pretreated with Camel smoke extract for 3 hours and then stimulated with 28 ng/mL anti-CD3 and 3 nmol/L PMA for 24 hours. Cytokine levels in the supernatants were analyzed by using ELISA. The data are expressed as means ± SE of triplicate cultures. Asterisks and double asterisks denote values that are significantly different from the control (concentration 0) at a P value of less than .05 and P value of less than .01, respectively. The undiluted extract prepared by smoking one cigarette through 10 mL of RPMI-1640 is denoted as a relative concentration of 1. The results are representative of 3 separate experiments. NS , The basal cytokine level measured in unstimulated cells. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2000 106, 280-287DOI: (10.1067/mai.2000.107751) Copyright © 2000 Mosby, Inc.
