FIG 1. IL-6 enhances proliferation, alters cell morphology, and increases chymase content in HuMCs.

FIG 1

HuMCs were cultured for 7 weeks in SCF, with or without IL6, or IL6 alone (100 ng/ml of each). (A) Mean cell count +/− SEM (cultures from five donors, *** P<0.001). (B) Cytocentrifuged preparations of cells stained with toluidine blue. (C) Tryptase, chymase and carboxypeptidase content by flow cytometry. Representative results from one of three donors are shown in B and C.
