Neutrophils and mast cells migration profile after prednisolone and nedocromil therapy in the digits

	Digits synovial tissue
Cell Type	Untreated	Prednisolone	Nedocromil
Neutrophils	1,512±21.2	206±54.1^***	289±39.4^***
Intact mast cells	27.5±1.9	203±20.0^**	6.7±1.0^***
Degranulated mast cells	12.5±2.3	137±10.4^***	10.6±0.4

Data report the number of the specified cell type per mm² as quantified in digit synovial tissue of arthritic mice on day 32. Mice were either left untreated, or treated with Prednisolone (4 μmol/Kg) or Nedocromil (2 mg/Kg) from day 21 to day 32. Values are mean±s.e.m. of 5 mice pre group.
