Fig. 4From: AQP5-1364A/C polymorphism and the AQP5 expression influence sepsis survival and immune cell migration: a prospective laboratory and patient studyMigration assay of human primary neutrophils. Migration assays of human primary neutrophils unstimulated or fMLP (target) stimulated using cell culture inserts. Migrated cells were counted after 0.5 and 1.5 h (n = 4). Neutrophils from AA-genotype carriers showed target-oriented migration already after 0.5 h (a p = 0.029; c p = 0.056). Neutrophils from AC/CC-genotypes did not demonstrate target-oriented migration until 1.5 h, and, when compared to AA-genotype carriers, the number of migrated cells was threefold less than the AC/CC-genotype carriers (b p = 0.029; d p = 0.029)Back to article page
