Neutrophils of three donors were treated for 3 hr with medium or GM-CSF (4 ng/ml) and then stained for surface expression of chemotactic receptors CXCR1, CXCR2 and formyl peptide receptor (FPR), and of Class I MHC and CD45 as controls. Separate aliquots of cells were cultured in medium for 6 hr, or in GM-CSF (4 ng/ml) for 3 hr followed by medium for 3 hr, before staining. Results are expressed as mean of MFI of cells from the three donors followed by standard error. Staining used 1 μg of antibody per 106 cells and all values are corrected for isotype control staining.
