Scattergrams showing individual concentrations of interleukin (IL)-17 protein versus a) IL‐6, b) IL‐8 and c) tumour necrosis factor (TNF)‐α protein in cell-free bronchoalveolar lavage fluid harvested from previously-healthy human volunteers, 24 h after exposure to a swine confinement, measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. There was no statistically significant correlation between IL-17 and IL‐6 (rho=0.4, p=0.2, n=15); IL‐8 (rho=0.3, p=0.3, n=14); or TNF‐α (rho=0.1, p=0.6, n=15).
