Figure 1From: Local and systemic neutrophilic inflammation in patients with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseA histogram representing changes in ROS production in the neutrophils of peripheral blood of study patients after stimulation with different concentrations of PMA. Data are presented as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) ± SEM. *P < 0.05, when compared with COPD and healthy individuals groups; §P < 0.05, when compared with healthy individuals. The representative dot plot of neurophil population isolated from peripheral blood of healthy individuals (A), patients with COPD (B), patients with lung cancer/COPD (C) and patients with lung cancer (D) stimulated upon 30 nM of Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Side light scater (SSC) represents the granularity, complexity of the cells; FSC – forward light scatter (FSC) represents cell size; dihydrorhodamine-123 (DHR-123) a green fluorescent compound showing H2O2 intensity in neutrophils.Back to article page
