Cellular activation - Trolox, Antioxidant vitamin E derivative (ab120747) Image from Wang T, et al. Plos One, 9(3), e91063. Fig 6C and D,; doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0091063Endothelial cells were cocultured with Nef-transfected Jurkat cells for 24 h, and then treated with apocynin (200 nM), trolox (200 nM), Nox2 inhibitor (1 µM) or IKKi (100 nM) and incubated an additional 18 h, then analyzed for Nef-induced MCP-1 production (C) and apoptosis of endothelial cells (D). Data were expressed as fold MCP-1 production and apoptosis, normalized to the mean of control measurements.
