Variations are expressed as mRNA fold changes using β-actin as an internal standard. Heterophils (8 × 106/ml) were first incubated for 30 min with the inhibitors before addition of the ulvan extract at 25 μg/ml for 4 h. Data represents the mean ± SEM of four independent experiments in triplicate. Letters indicate statistically significant differences with the experiment with the TLR inhibitor,
