Western blot analysis of SLAMF7 protein expression in macrophages (d-THP-1) in the presence of LPS. Cells were cultured and SLAMF7 protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis. The proteins were detected and quantified using the LICOR ODYSSEY® CLx (LiCOR, Lincoln, NE, USA) Infrared Imager according to manufacturer’s procedure37. Results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). Different letters indicate significant difference to that of d-THP-1 (0 time) at p ≤ 0.05.
