Effects of Garlic Oil on the Migration of Neutrophil-Like Cell Studied by Using a Chemotactic Gradient Labchip

Figure 2

The average values of (a) CI, (b) MI, and (c) ECI of a test and a control groups of neutrophil-like cell migration under a fixed flow rate of 1.5  𝜇 L/min with varying IL-8 chemoattractant gradients across a 400- 𝜇 m-wide main microchannel (cell migration region). The test group of the cells was treated with 3  𝜇 g/mL concentration of GO while the control group was not GO-treated for comparison. Data are given in the form of mean ± S.D. ( 𝑛 = 6 ) . # : Significant difference between the test and the control groups at the same range of IL-8 gradient ( 𝑃 < . 0 5 ) . a, b mean that the test groups not sharing the same superscript letter are significantly different ( 𝑃 < . 0 5 ) .
