T cells were stimulated for 16 hours with PMA plus ionomycin in the presence of different concentrations of the compounds. Membrane TNFα and TNF-RII expression was evaluated by FACS analysis. Results are expressed as an IC50 value (concentration inducing 50% increase of expression); means uneffective.
