Expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA in neutrophils.

<p>Cells were treated with PBS (1), 5 nmol/L rPVL for 2 h (2) or 100 nmol/L rPVL for 2 h (3), respectively. A: Representative agarose-gel photograph showing the expression levels of NF-κB p65 mRNA in polymorphonuclear cells using RT-PCR. B: Relative levels of NF-κB p65 expressed in polymorphonuclear cells. The values indicate the expression indices of the densitometry units relative to the amount of β-actin. Results represent the mean ± SD of three separate measurements. * <i>P</i><0.05.
