Production of Cytokines (expressed as pg/mL) by the VK2/E6E7 cells. VK2 cells cultivated alone (V), cultured with 50 µM farnesol alone (V + F50), infected with C. albicans for 12 h (V + C), and infected as well as treated with 25/50µM farnesol for another 24 h (V + C + F50). Cytokine levels of the supernatants were measured after 36 h for all the treatments. *, significant difference compared to the V + C group (P < 0.05); **, significant difference compared to the V + C group (P < 0.01); ***, significant difference compared to the V + C group (P < 0.001). ^#, significant difference compared to the V + C + F50 group (P < 0.05); ^##, significant difference compared to the V + C + F50 group (P < 0.01); ^###, significant difference compared to the V + C + F50 group (P < 0.001)
