Figure 4. GM-CSF treated monocytes are partially contractile.

5×10⁶ CD14⁺ monocytes from SSc patients or healthy controls were seeded on collagen gels and cultured for 14 days under different conditions as indicated. On day 14, the reduction of the gel area was calculated as percent of the initial seize. B) The graph shows the summary of data from 4 healthy controls and 4 SSc patients. A significant difference between the two groups was not detectable.
