Comparison of gene expression in pleural macrophages with and without antibiotics treatment in vitro. Pleural macrophages were isolated from five patients before antibiotics treatment and cultured in vitro for 36 hours with or without antibiotics. Cells were collected for RNA isolation and real-time PCR to quantify the transcript level of the indicted genes. Transcript level of each gene was normalized to GAPDH (ct). The ratio of ct with and without antibiotics is shown. Error bar, SEM; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
