Figure Lengend Snippet: Markers of immune activation and microbial translocation in response to the exercise challenge. (a–f) Levels of LBP (a), sCD14 (b), LPS (c), IgM antibody to LPS (EndoCAb IgM) (d), IgM antibody to gliadin (e) and IL-10 (f) before and after the maximal exercise challenge in unaffected controls (n = 7) and individuals with ME/CFS (n = 9). Each individual is represented by a filled circle and the two points corresponding to the same individual are connected by a line.
Article Snippet: Plasma levels of IgG, IgA, and IgM anti-endotoxin (LPS)-core antibodies (EndoCAb) (Hycult Biotech, Uden, The Netherlands), lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) (Hycult Biotech), soluble CD14 (sCD14) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (FABP2) (R&D Systems) were determined by ELISA according to the manufacturers’ protocols, as we have previously described ( ).
Techniques: Activation Assay, Translocation Assay
