A) Time course of viability assessed by Trypan Blue and B) RTCA tracing and dose response of in vitro stimulation of mouse eosinophils by SP-A, AUC = area under the curve. C) Representative flow diagrams of human eosinophil apoptosis and cell death by Annexin V and PI and quantification after 16 hours incubation with SP-A; live = Annexin V−, PI−, early apoptosis = Annexin V+, PI−, late apoptosis/dead = Annexin V+, PI+ D) Densitometry of caspase-3 by Western blot of mouse eosinophils standardized to non-treated control. ANOVA with correction for multiple comparisons, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001. Data (mean ± SEM) are from at least two independent experiments with n = 2-3 replicates/treatment.
