Neutrophil migration induced by lectin from the seeds of Dioclea wilsonii (DwL). DwL (1 mg/Kg) was administered intraperitoneally. Five hours later, the exudates were collected by washing with 10 mL saline containing 5 UI heparin/mL. (a) Total and differential cell counts were performed. (b) Total protein was quantified (A = 595 nm). Results are mean values ± S.E.M. for each group of 6 animals. * p < 0.05 compared to saline (ANOVA-Bonferroni).
