From: Early down-regulation of the pro-inflammatory potential of monocytes is correlated to organ dysfunction in patients after severe multiple injury: a cohort study

Figure 3

Representative fluorescence histograms displaying the internal content of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα in CD14+ monocytes of one patient on admission, and 24 hours post trauma vs. one control. Whole blood samples were analyzed either after short-term stimulation with lipopolysaccharide or unchallenged as a guide for setting markers to delineate positive and negative cell populations. For relative quantification of the amount of synthesized cytokines the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated.
