I havent read this article but it seems like it would tell you the
amounts of PGE2 that cause inhibition of Il-12.
Then look at doses of indomethacin that cause inhibition of PGE2 in
other papers. Or look at doses of indomethacin that inhibit other cytokines.
There are plenty of papers with indomethacin and say Il-8 or TNF etc.
good luck.
