Figure 5From: Engineering and characterization of human β-defensin-3 and its analogues and microcin J25 peptides against Mannheimia haemolytica and bovine neutrophilsEffect of peptides on neutrophil migration towards fMLP. Number of neutrophils that migrated towards fMLP (114 nM) after 20 min incubation at 37 °C. Neutrophils were treated with 50.0 μg/mL HBD3, HBD3 20AA analogue and, HBD3 28AA analogue. pn/f stands for peptide and neutrophils together in the upper well and fmlp in the bottom during 20 min incubation. fMLP is the positive control. Mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. One way ANOVA was followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test (P ≤ 0.0036). Asterisks show significant difference from PBS (Negative control) *P < 0.05.Back to article page
