2 Fig. 1 Box and whisker plots of macrophage markers in Pseudomonas-infected and -uninfected patients as measured by (A) percentage of CD11b+ cells with up-regulation of MR expression, and (B) arginase activity. MR expression on CD11b+ cells was determined by flow cytometry. Arginase activity was measured by the fluorimetric measurement of the conversion of l-arginine to urea. p< for differences between median MR expression and arginase activity. Box plots demonstrate medians, range, 5th and 95th percentiles with outliers demonstrated for each. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2010 9, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

3 Fig. 2 Comparison of median cytokine expression in cell lysates from patients with CF who were Pseudomonas-infected and -uninfected. Cytokine concentration was determined by a multiplex assay. Box plots demonstrate medians, range, and 5th and 95th percentiles with outliers demonstrated for each cytokine. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2010 9, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

4 Fig. 3 Relation of FEV1 and (A) surface expression of MR on CD11b+ cells and (B) arginase activity in sample lysates from PA-infected and -uninfected patients. Lines represent the linear regression analysis between the variables for the infected (– – –) and uninfected (—) groups.

5 Fig. 4 Relation of FEV1 to (A) arginase activity and (B) percentage of CD11b+ cells that were both MR+ and TLR4− among patients who are AZM-treated and PA-infected. Lines represent the linear regression analysis between the variables. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2010 9, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2010 Elsevier B.V. Terms and Conditions
