Effect of BD-2 on PMC migration. (a) Native PMCs or (b) IgE-coated PMCs were incubated with different concentrations of BD-2, TNF (0.05 pg/mL), CCL5 (100 ng/mL), NGF (100 ng/mL), LL-37 (20 μg/mL), CRAMP (20 μg/mL) or medium alone (control spontaneous PMC migration) for 3 h at 37°C in a Boyden microchamber. Spontaneous migration served as a control and was referred to 100%. Each point represents the of three independent experiments done in duplicate. , , and .
