“…For example, TNF-α was expressed at 12 h for N, LM and LN groups and the protein production did not occur at 12 h or even after 24 h. Another finding was that IL-6 had the highest-fold increase and IL1-β produced more proteins. Other studies in the orthopedic literature described similar results to those of present study (11,15,22), but the reasons for this are unknown. A possible explanation may be that this discrepancy in mRNA expression and protein production is related to post-transcriptional processing or autocrine mechanisms to prevent an over-inflammatory reaction that can be harmful for the system (15).…”

“…[140,141] In lymphocyte/macrophage co-cultures, lymphocytes have been observed to associate with macrophages and foreign body giant cells. [142,143] To determine the role of lymphocytes in the foreign body reaction to synthetic biomaterials, we have utilized human blood-derived lymphocytes and monocytes in co-cultures. The lymphocytes and monocytes are cultured directly as well as separated by a membrane via a transwell insert when exposed to biomaterial surfaces in order to investigate the interactions between lymphocytes and macrophages during the foreign body reaction.…”

“…Device-related immune reactions have been investigated in mammary [20], vascular [21]and orthopaedic [22]prostheses, on peripheral blood samples from recipient patients, by flow cytometry or on biopsy specimens taken around the implant. These procedures cannot be applied for CL studies, since CLs are not in a direct contact with peripheral blood and, in addition, the relatively traumatic conjunctival biopsy is mainly carried out in patients where a severe pathology is suspected.…”
