Different Modulating Effects of Adenosine on Neonatal and Adult Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes

Figure 3

The modulating effects of adenosine on phagocytosis of neonatal and adult PMNs. (a) The phagocytotic manifestation of cord blood PMNs was comparable with adult PMNs. The results are representative of 6 duplicate experiments. (b) Plots illustrate phagocytosis (expressed as GEOMEAN in the ordinate) of adult and cord blood PMNs. Neither adult nor cord blood PMNs phagocytosis was influenced by adenosine (Figures 3(a) and 3(b)).
