Effect of co-incubation of PMN (neutrophils) and monocytes on bacterial killing of P. aeruginosa with different ratios of PMN to monocytes in the a absence of resistin and b presence of resistin. Direct co-incubation was achieved by mixing PMN and monocytes in 1:1 ratio and 3:1 ratio (total cell counts kept the same in each condition). Co-incubation with increasing proportions of monocytes did not improve killing of P. aeruginosa. n = 18 for all experiments. Asterisk denotes statistical significance (P < 0.05)
