Figure 10From: Serum amyloid P inhibits granulocyte adhesionSerum amyloid P (SAP) has no effect on granulocyte apoptosis. Granulocytes were treated with granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (10 ng/ml or 1 ng/ml) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α (10 ng/ml or 1 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of SAP (60 μg/ml) for 22 h at 37°C. The cells were then stained with annexin V and analyzed by flow cytometry. The results are mean ± SEM of percentage positive cells (n = 3 separate experiments).Back to article page
