From: Sepsis induces incomplete M2 phenotype polarization in peritoneal exudate cells in mice
CLP polarized PE cells initially to the M1, and subsequently to the M2 phenotype. PE cells were harvested from mice at 6 or 20 h after sham or CLP operation (n = 4 or 5 for each group). The mRNA expression levels of the marker enzymes iNOS (a) and ARG1 (b) were analyzed by real-time PCR. The fold changes are expressed relative to sham-PE cells harvested at 6 h post-surgery. In c, the ratio of iNOS/ARG1 is shown. Data are presented as the mean + SEM. **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, CLP vs. sham animals
