Figure 1. Change in levels of mRNA expression by 64 genes in human neutrophils due to stimulation with inflammatory agonists.

Cells were stimulated as described in Materials and Methods for 30 min at 37°C. Values are ratios of mRNA levels (stimulated cells/un-stimulated cells) as determined by real-time PCR, averaged±SEM for six independent experiments performed under identical conditions with a different single donor of cells. *Selected MIP-2 primers do not discriminate between the highly homologous alpha and beta isoforms.
