Uteroglobin, a Possible Ligand of the Lipoxin Receptor Inhibits Serum Amyloid A-Driven Inflammation

Figure 1

Exogenous hrUG binding by CHO cells expressing ALX shown by modified enzyme immunoassay. CHO cells expressing either the empty vector pcDNA3 vector or containing the full ALX open reading frame were exposed to increasing hrUG concentrations. The asterix notation indicates data points with a value of <0.02 when comparing to data series. Results are plotted as a mean ± SD of quadruplicate determinations performed in three separate experiments. Reverse transcription-PCR was used to monitor the ALX mRNA expression in CHO cells stably transfected with ALX cDNA (inset). Control represents no template added to reaction. ALX is lipoxin A4 receptor or FPR2/ALX. The result is from a representative gel of two performed.
