Effect of macrolides on THP-1 expression of receptors involved in recognition of apoptotic cells and/or nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae. Azithromycin (Az), GS-459755 (GS4), and GS-560660 (GS5) were used at concentrations of 0.5 µg/ml; n = 5 experiments performed in triplicate. No significant changes were observed. Data presented as box plots, as described in Fig. 1, and analyzed using Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity.
