Flow Cytometry Analysis of Cell Populations

	Peritoneum (%)		Spleen (%)
	PBS	Dexamethasone	PBS	Dexamethasone
Gr-1 (+)	10.70 (±1.88)	43.21 (±5.15)*	5.31 (±2.25)	22.23 (±7.90)*
Gr-1(+) annexin V(+)	18.49 (±1.62)	18.13 (±2.25)	1.06 (±0.21)	2.97 (±0.59)*
F4/80(+)	35.86 (±2.65)	28.82 (±3.17)	3.20 (±0.23)	3.28 (±0.19)
F4/80(+) annexin V(+)	2.49 (±0.51)	1.56 (±0.46)	1.68 (±0.38)	4.40 (±0.41)*

Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry with staining by Gr-1 and annexin V or F4/80 and annexin V to assess cell populations arising 24 hours after treatment with either PBS or dexamethasone. Results represent mean ± SEM of % cells, with N = 9–14.
