Results are mean±SEM for n=4 to 9 animals per group. **P<0.01 relative to the Buffer group; ++P<0.01 relative to the Ang-II group.

5. Figure 4. Effects of anti-CXCR1 and anti-CXCR2 mAbs on Ang-II–induced chemokine release (A, B), mononuclear cell arrest (C), and IL-8–induced MCP-1 release (D) from HUAECs. Results are mean±SEM of n=4 to 6 experiments: *P<0.05 or **P<0.01 relative to values in the medium group; +P<0.05 or ++P<0.01 relative to the stimulus group.
