Fig 1 The effect of exposure of isolated human neutrophils to 100 ng ml−1 activated protein C (APC) on migration towards 1 nM interleukin-8 or 1 μM FMLP. Box and whisker plots are median, interquartile, and full range (n=10).

Fig 2 The effect of exposure on isolated human neutrophils to 2 μg ml−1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 0–200 ng ml−1 activated protein C (APC) on (a) respiratory burst (NS) and (b) apoptosis (NS). Box and whisker plots are median, interquartile, and full range (n=10).

Fig 3 The effect of exposure on isolated human neutrophils to 2 μg ml−1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus 0, 2, 20, or 200 ng ml−1 activated protein C (APC) on interleukin-6 (P=0.04) expression. In order to show individual trends, data are shown as a percentage of each IL-6 concentration in the absence of APC (n=10). Freidman analysis of variance P=0.04.
