Figure 4

Effect of methylprednisolone on the expression of TLR-2 by monocytes from AECOPD patients (5 different patients; purified cells from each subject were tested in duplicate for each condition studied). Purified monocytes were incubated for 3 h with different amounts of methylprednisolone and TLR-2 expression was studied by flow cytometry. For statistical comparisons, TLR-2 expression by monocytes from 5 representative never smokers after 3 h culture without stimuli is included in the figure. The results were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni contrasts.
