Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4 TNFα increases CCL2 protein content in primary and immortalized PNMEC cultures Intracellular CCL2 content in (A) primary or (B) immortalized PNMEC cultures incubated in the absence (media) or presence of TNFα (10 ng/ml) for 4 h was quantified by cell-based ELISA or immunoblot, respectively. (C, D) Immortalized PNMEC cultures were cultured with (C) 0–100 ng/ml TNFα for 4 h or (D) 0–24 h with 10 ng/ml TNFα, as indicated, and intracellular CCL2 protein was quantified by cell-based ELISA. Data shown are results from 2–3 separate experiments (A, n = 12–14 cultures; C, D, n = 6–10 cultures). Immunoblot data shown in (B) are from a single experiment performed in duplicate. (A) #, P < 0.0001 unpaired Student’s t-test; (C) *, P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc analysis. (D) *, P < 0.001; two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post-hoc analysis.
Article Snippet: Washed membranes were blocked and incubated overnight at 4 ◦C in the presence of primary antibody (1:10 dilution of mouse anti-rat large T antigen (provided by Dr. P. Jat), 1:4000 dilution of rabbit anti-rat CCL2 polyclonal, or 1:100 dilution of mouse anti-rat ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody (Serotec).
