PAMPs induce overlapping procoagulant and proinflammatory responses in human monocytes. PBMCs were stimulated for 6 hours with PGN (10 µg/mL), heat-killed (hk) B anthracis (107 CFU/mL), LPS (1 µg/mL), or Pam3CSK4 (1 µg/mL) in the presence of BFA before intracellular quantification of TF and TNF-α by flow cytometry. (A) Representative distribution of procoagulant (TF+) and proinflammatory (TNF-α+) responses in PAMP-stimulated monocytes. (B) Average distribution of procoagulant and proinflammatory responses in PAMP-stimulated monocytes in the cohort studied (n = 11). Column segments represent mean and standard deviation for each population depicted in the legend. FITC, fluorescein isothiocyanate.
