Fig. 2. Detection of autophagy in human polymorphonuclear cells.
a Immunohistochemical staining of MNCs and PMNCs for LC3. The percentage of LC3-positive cells in each fraction was determined by cell counting under a microscope. b Western blotting for LC3. c Inhibition of autophagy with 3-MA. Human mononuclear cells derived from the bone marrow were incubated with cytokines in the presence or absence of 3-MA at a final concentration of 10 nM. d Inhibition of apoptosis with the caspase inhibitor, zVAD-fmk (100 µM); N = 6
