Figure Lengend Snippet: Healthy volunteer and patient derived CD34+ cells were differentiated for 14 days in the presence or absence of inhibitors. The resultant cells were labeled with antibodies to CD14, CD66b, CD11b, and CD15 surface markers and analyzed using flow cytometry. A. Representative experiment histograms are shown. The proportion of CD14 + /CD66b + and CD11b + /CD15 + positive cells in quadrant 2 are indicated. B. Graphical representation of the percentage of CD66b + /CD14 + and CD11b + /CD15 + cellular subsets of the patients' cells after the addition of NE inhibitors. For each individual experiment, the percentage of cells with a mature phenotype after addition of inhibitor was divided by the percentage measured when only the vehicle control was added and this ratio was plotted. Data from 5 different patients, represented in at least two different experiments. Each individual patient has a different symbol. C. Cell cytospins stained with Kwik-Diff (eosin/methylene blue) were imaged using a Nikon digital camera. Cell differentiation was evaluated at 400x magnification by light microscope. Representative experiments showing the effect of MK0339 and brensocatib inhibitors on healthy volunteer and patient cells are shown.
