Comparison of SLAMF protein mRNA levels in monocytes (u-THP-1), macrophages (d-THP-1) and Jurkat cells. Cells were cultured and SLAMF protein mRNA levels were determined using real-time PCR. Results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). (A) Comparison of SLAMF expression in u-THP-1 and d-THP-1 cells. SLAMF mRNA levels were normalized to SLAMF7 mRNA levels in the u-THP-1 monocytes. Bars with asterisk indicate significant difference to the un-treated control at p ≤ 0.05. (B) SLAMF protein mRNA levels in Jurkat cells. SLAMF mRNA levels were normalized to SLAMF7. Bars with different letter indicate significant difference at p < 0.05.
