FIG 7.

Effects of different sugar affinity lectins on ISG and C-C chemokine expression. (A) Three-dimensional (3D) structures of the indicated lectins with the respective accession codes from the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics: Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB). (B) Macrophages were treated with the indicated lectins (50 nM) for 6 h, and then cellular RNA was extracted and the expression of Mx2 and MIP-1β was measured by qPCR. The data are expressed as the means and SD of the results of three independent experiments (**, P < 0.01).
