Modulation of the phenotypic markers density of fresh AECII by inflammatory cytokines. These results were obtained from the same samples as those presented in Figure 4 but relative medians of fluorescence intensity (MFI) were analyzed. Results are represented by the medians and the inter-quartile ranges obtained with four independent experiments. A value of P <0.05 was considered to be significant. * P < 0.05;** P < 0.01. I100: IFN-γ 100 ng/ml; T50: TNF-α 50 ng/ml; I50/T25: IFN-γ 100 ng/ml, TNF-α 25 ng/ml.
