Effects of LL-37 on the surface expression of ICAM-1 and CD18 on eosinophils and BEAS-2B cells in the co-culture. Human eosinophils (3 × 105) and BEAS-2B cells (1 × 105) were cultured either together or separately with or without 2 or 10 μg/ml LL-37 for 20 h. (A) representative dot plot and histograms illustrating differential flow cytometric analysis of surface expression of ICAM-1 and CD18 on eosinophils or BEAS-2B cells in the co-culture of triplicate independent experiments showing essentially similar results. (B,C) quantitative results of surface ICAM-1 (B) or CD18 (C) expression on eosinophils and BEAS-2B cells are presented as MFI. EOS, eosinophils; CoEOS, eosinophils in co-culture; CoBEAS-2B, BEAS-2B cells in co-culture. Results are shown as arithmetic mean plus SD of triplicate independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 when compared between denoted groups and eosinophil/fibroblast control groups. ## P < 0.01 when compared between denoted groups and co-culture control groups.
