The Possible Role of Neutrophils in the Induction of Osteoclastogenesis

Figure 1

RANKL expression on (unstimulated) PMNs from controls and periodontitis patients. RANKL expression was measured on circulatory (cPMNs) and oral PMNs (oPMNs) from healthy controls (white bars) and periodontitis patients (grey bars). Bars represent the percentage of RANKL expression corrected for IgG isotype control expression on CD66b-positive PMNs. Whiskers demonstrate standard errors of means. The employed gating strategy is shown in Supplementary Figure 1. No significant differences were found between conditions (unpaired -test). controls, periodontitis patients.
