“…Petro et al [21] has previously reported that cigarette smoking has a direct effect upon the immune system, yet little is known about the effect of cigarette components on immune response of macrophages. Mouse macrophages are a suitable model for research as it is a good predictive model for the human macrophages responses [22].…”

“…Extract of oral snuff and tobacco free snuff was prepared using a protocol previously described (Petro et al, 2002), with a few modifications. Ten grams of oral (Ettan moist, Swedish Match, Stockholm, Sweden, and Copenhagen snuff fine cut, US Smokeless Tobacco Company, Richmond, VA, USA) or tobacco free snuff (Choice Apple, Nicofree, Trångsviken, Sweden) were mixed with 100 ml phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and incubated for 2 h at 37 °C.…”

“…There are several reports describing local reactions in the gingival tissues when exposed to snuff or nicotine. Mavropoulos et al (2001) found an increased blood flow in the gingiva of humans in response to local exposure to snuff, and Petro et al (2002) reported that smokeless tobacco extract increased IL‐2 production and decreased IL‐12 production from macrophages. In an experimental study, Alpar et al (1998) showed that the growth of human oral fibroblasts decreased when exposed to nicotine.…”
