Characteristics of thioglycolate-induced neutrophils after the activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Candida preparation (see method) (Candida) or combined LPS plus Candida (LPS + Candida) or untreated control as indicated by expression of cytokine genes (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-10) (A–D), TLR-4 gene (a LPS receptor) (E), Dectin-1 gene (a receptor of beta-glucan, an important component of Candida cell wall) (F), and NF-κB gene (an important transcriptional factor) (G) are demonstrated (results from isolated triplicated experiments).
