Fig. 8From: Sputum from patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia contains high numbers of dysfunctional neutrophils and inhibits efferocytosisProportions of apoptotic cells among blood and sputum neutrophils in PCD and bronchiectasis. Purified neutrophils from patients with PCD (PCD blood, n = 4) and non-PCD, non-CF bronchiectasis (BE blood, n = 3) and purified sputum cells from patients with PCD (PCD sputum, n = 4) and non-PCD, non-CF bronchiectasis (BE sputum, n = 3) were stained by a live/dead dye (LD) and Annexin V. Percentages of live (LD−AnnV−), early apoptotic (LD−AnnV+), late apoptotic (LD+AnnV+) and necrotic (LD+AnnV−) cells are shownBack to article page
