Functional inhibition of CXC chemokines by individual and “two-warhead” evasins. (A–C) Neutralization of CXCL8 induced granulocyte cell migration by P1156, P1243:G4S:P1156 and P1156:G4S:P1243 respectively. Y-axis shows cell count of granulocytes migrating through to the bottom chamber in response to EC80 dose of CXCL8. Data from a representative experiment are shown as mean ± s.e.m. of three technical replicates. X-axis shows CKBP concentration (Log10 Molar). IC50 values (M) indicated in each figure were estimated by fitting an agonist response curve with 4 parameters22. (D) Summary IC50 data (mean ± s.e.m., and individual data points from three biological replicates) of the indicated CKBPs against CXCL8. Y-axis shows IC50 (logarithmic scale, M), and x-axis shows each CKBP. CXCL8 was assayed using granulocyte cell migration at its EC80 dose. There were no statistically significant differences between the mean IC50 values.
