Elastase Activity in Neutrophils Stimulated by IL-8 and fMLP | Research Data #79782 (License: Personal Use)

This bar graph displays elastase activity (measured in ng per 10⁶ cells) across three experimental conditions: untreated control, IL-8-stimulated, and fMLP-stimulated neutrophils. Both IL-8 and fMLP induce a marked increase in enzyme release, with IL-8 producing the highest activity (~350 ng/10⁶ cells), while control remains low (~100 ng/10⁶ cells). Error bars represent standard error of the mean, and asterisks denote statistical significance (p < 0.05).

Used in immunology or inflammation research publications, grant reports, or educational materials to illustrate neutrophil degranulation responses to chemoattractants; targets researchers, students, and clinicians interested in innate immunity mechanisms.
