Figure 6. Fibrocytes decrease local inflammation.
Within 24 hours of CLP with or without adoptive transfer of fibrocytes, peritoneal lavage fluid was collected. The lavage samples were centrifuged to obtain A) total and differential cell counts of the cell pellet and B) IL-6 concentrations from the supernatant. Data are reported as mean ± SEM. n= 8/group, 3 independent experiments. * = p<0.05 as compared to saline group.
