Patient’s blood was used for this study. The control group consisted of 20 healthy individuals. Group 1 included 25 patients with AH admitted to the hospital with a hypertensive crisis, and Group 2 included 25 patients with AH and polysegmental pneumonia associated with coronavirus infection. ELISA determined cytokine levels. Lymphocytes were isolated from blood in a Ficoll density gradient.
Concentrations of the cytokines (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-25, and IL-32α) were measured according to the manufacturer’s instructions: Human IL-1 beta ELISA Kit (ab214025), Abcam, Cambridge, UK; for IL-1β; Human IL-2 ELISA Kit (ab270883), Abcam, Cambridge, UK; for IL-2; Human IL-6 ELISA Kit (ab178013), Abcam, Cambridge, UK; for IL-6, Human IL-7 ELISA Kit (ab46031), Abcam, Cambridge, UK; for IL7; Human IL-8 ELISA Kit (ab214030), Abcam, Cambridge, UK; for IL-8; Human IL-25 ELISA Kit (ab272200), Abcam, Cambridge, UK; for IL25 and Human IL-32α ELISA Kit (ab267616), Abcam, Cambridge, UK. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader (StatFax). The serum level of each cytokine was calculated according to the standard curves and expressed as pg/mL.
