Figure 6. N1 polarization of HVJ-E-stimulated neutrophils.
A. FACS analysis of ICAM-1 and FAS expression in bone marrow-derived naïve neutrophils treated with or without HVJ-E (n=4). B. FACS analysis of ICAM-1 and FAS expression in bone marrow-derived naïve neutrophils that were cultured with conditioned medium from dendritic cells treated with or without HVJ-E (n=4). ** Indicates p<0.01. C. MMP9 and VEGF transcripts were assessed by qPCR in neutrophils (N) treated with or without HVJ-E (n=5). D. MMP9 and VEGF expression levels in neutrophils cultured with conditioned medium from dendritic cells (DC) treated with or without HVJ-E (n=5) were also determined. ** Indicates p<0.01, and * indicates p<0.05. NS indicates not significant.
