From: Endothelial bioreactor system ameliorates multiple organ dysfunction in septic rats
The endothelial bioreactor (EBR) system alleviated inflammation in lungs. a Total protein in BALF at 48 h after CLP (n = 7–9 per group). b Inflammatory cytokines in BALF were measured by ELISA at 48 h after CLP (n = 7–9 per group). c Total cell counts in BALF at 48 h after CLP (n = 7–9 per group). d The levels of neutrophils in the lung were analyzed by flow cytometer at 48 h after CLP (n = 7–9 per group). e Gating strategy for the identification of neutrophils in the lung. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. EBR endothelial bioreactor, CLP cecal ligation and puncture, BALF bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
