Interleukin-13, but Not Indomethacin, Increases Cysteinyl-Leukotriene Synthesis in Human Lung Macrophages

Figure 1

RT-qPCR assay data for LTC4S mRNA in macrophages from 12 lung tissue donors after 16 hours of culture in the presence and absence of 10 ng/mL IL-13. Values are normalised to the housekeeping gene (β-actin), with values representing the number of doubling cycles taken to reach the threshold, and plotted on an inverted logarithmic -axis (as ) so that an increase in LTC4S mRNA is shown as a higher value on the axis. The mean log change in value was 0.49, representing no significant change in LTC4S mRNA with IL-13 culture ( ).
