DLL4 impairs M2 macrophage polarization. a Phenotype analysis of macrophages before (M0) and after polarization in M1 or M2 macrophages for 24 h with LPS and IFN-γ or IL-4, respectively (n = 5). b Phenotype analysis of M0, M1 and M2 macrophages polarized during 24 h with (+rhDLL4) or without (−rhDLL4) coated rhDLL4 (n = 5). Data are expressed as fold increases ± SD from 5 independant experiments. M1-specific and M2-specific makers are indicated. Mann-Whitney test was used for statistical analysis of the results (*p < 0.05 and ** if p < 0.01)
