Figure 2. Ligation of β2 integrins by CD11b antibodies inhibits IFN-α signaling.
Primary human macrophages were plated onto control IgG2b coated wells or anti-CD11b coated wells.
A, Macrophages were plated for 2 h and then IFN-α (50 U/mL) was added for an additional 2 h to assess induction of IFN-α response genes. mRNA expression was measured by qPCR, and results are presented as mean ± SD of triplicate wells normalized relative to GAPDH mRNA. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments.
B, Macrophages were plated for 4 hr and then IFN-α (500 U/mL) was added for an additional 15 min to assess phosphorylation of STAT1. Whole cell lysates were immunoblotted with Abs against phospho-STAT1 (Y701) and STAT1. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments.
