Figure 4From: Mometasone and desloratadine additive effect on eosinophil survival and cytokine secretion from epithelial cellsKinetics of human epithelial conditioned media (HECM) and mometasone effect on eosinophil survival. HECM at 10% (filled circles) from nasal mucosa and nasal polyps significantly increased eosinophil survival compared to control media (open circles) from day 1 to 4. Mometasone at 10-5 M (filled triangles) inhibited the HECM-induced eosinophil survival at all time points. Results expressed as mean ± SEM of eosinophil survival index. Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical comparison ** p < 0.01, HECM compared to control media; †† P < 0.01 MF compared to HECM. N = 10.Back to article page
