ROS production in PMNs. (a) Chemiluminescent curves showing similar relative light units (RLU) detection between BG and BGAg samples when compared to with negative control (medium only). BG samples decreased ROS production when coincubated with zymosan (positive control). Each point represents the median of triplicate readings of ex vivo PMN cultures (n=3). (b) Area under the curve (AUC) values plotted for each stimulus. The sample BG 0.031% reduced significantly ROS production in comparison with only zymosan as stimulus. Values were expressed as median with CI ( compared to positive control).
