Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation between Dectin-1 expression and ROS index in response to Mtb in PMM from HS and TB patients. PMNs were incubated with DHR and treated with Mtb or left unstimulated for 90 min. Oxidized DHR emission due to ROS generated in the presence of Mtb was then assessed using flow cytometry in the FL-1 channel. The ROS index was calculated as the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) after Mtb stimulation / MFI after culturing with medium. Dectin-1 expression in fresh peripheral blood PMNs was assessed by labelling with anti-Dectin-1-PE antibodies and the corresponding nonspecific isotype (IgG) using flow cytometry. HS: p < 0.0008, r2 = 0.7316; TB p < 0.0001, r2 = 0.8506 (Spearman test)
Article Snippet: Freshly isolated PMNs were assessed using saturating concentrations of monoclonal mouse anti-human Dectin-1-PE-conjugated antibodies (clone 15E2), along with their corresponding isotype controls (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, USA).
