PMN concentration (×10³ cells/µL) obtained after conducting different PMN isolation protocols (Experiment 1).

Protocol	[PMN] (×103 cells/µL)
1	8.23 ± 0.87 a
2	6.20 ± 1.23 a,b
3	3.37 ± 0.95 b
4	56.16 ± 6.31 c
5	93.70 ± 7.07 d
6	126.07 ± 10.01 d
7	307.07 ± 19.77 e

Different superscript letters (a, b, c, d, e) mean significant (p < 0.05) differences between protocols. Data are shown as mean ± SEM for seven separate experiments.
