Figure 4

Effect of LL-37 and hBD-2 stimulation on NOD2 expression in PMCs. PMCs were incubated with medium alone (non-stimulated cells; NS), LL-37 or hBD-2 at a final concentration of 1 µg/mL. Representative images showing NOD2 cellular localization in permeabilized (a) native, (b) LL-37 stimulated, (c) hBD-2 stimulated PMCs analyzed by confocal microscopy. Single confocal sections (midsection of cells) reveal the presence of NOD2. One representative of three independent experiments performed with duplicate samples (each experiment was performed on 4 animals/PMC isolates) is shown. Fluorescence intensity diagrams showing the distribution of fluorescence in cells were mounted.
