Decreased Expression of CD14 in MSU-Mediated Inflammation May Be Associated with Spontaneous Remission of Acute Gout

Figure 1

The CD14 expression was decreased in gout patient. (a) The PBMCs from gout patients () and healthy controls (HC) () were harvested and stained with the anti-CD14 antibody and then subjected to flow cytometry to detect the mCD14 expression. The CD14-positive cells were gated for analysis. (b) The serum levels of sCD14 in gout patients () and HC () were detected by ELISA. The Mann-Whitney test was conducted to evaluate the significant difference of patients and controls. Each symbol represents an individual sample; horizontal lines indicate median values.
