Quantification of the cytokines present in the plasma of healthy controls and AML patients. Cell-free plasma from bone marrow samples of AML patients was collected and frozen at − 80 °C. Plasma interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and IL-23 levels were measured using ELISA kits according to manufacturer’s introductions (R&D Systems). Data represent mean ± SEM from three independent experiments in different AML patients. Significantly different from the control (*); ***, P < 0.001. HC, healthy controls; AML, acute myeloid leukemia patients; BM, bone marrow
