CPLA₂ in neutrophils during sepsis and after recovery.

(A) Immunoblot analysis of cPLA₂ in neutrophil lysates of septic patients during infection and after recovery. Shown are the results of a representative patient with sepsis and a representative patient with sepsis+bacteremia during the disease (“D”) and after complete recovery (“A”). (B) cPLA₂ expression in human neutrophils during sepsis and after recovery (expressed in densitometry units). The mean ± SEM of the densitometry values in the septic patients who showed increased cPLA₂ activity and the controls are shown. (C) cPLA₂ activity in neutrophil lysates during sepsis and after recovery. The mean ± SEM of cPLA₂ activities in neutrophil of the individual patients who showed increased cPLA₂ activity (Figure 1) and of the controls are shown.
