CXCL8 and type 1 diabetes mellitus: CXCL8 in HMW-APM-activated monocytes from controls was 335,000 pg/ml (range 91,000 – 610,000) (p vs control = 0.02) and 213,500 pg/ml (range 77,000–334,500) in T1D monocytes (p = 0.13) (Figure 2C) and therefore was not induced by HMW-APM in monocytes from T1D patients.
