Day 3 monocyte-derived macrophages were treated with 10 ng/ml of IL-4 and different concentrations of the indicated agents, incubated until day 7, fixed with methanol, and stained with May-Grünwald/Giemsa. The number of adherent macrophages in two low-power fields (×20) was averaged and expressed as a percentage of otherwise untreated macrophages.
*Significantly different from the control value with IL-4 with no other additive (P < 0.05).
