Effects of LPS and AEBSF on phorbol-triggered superoxide release. Phorbol myristate acetate-triggered release of superoxide from monocytes cultured for 16 h ± LPS ± AEBSF. The first bar is Time 0, a control of monocytes at the start of culture when they were still agitated by the isolation procedure. The last two bars show the effect of AEBSF added at the end of the culture at 16 h. LPS primed monocytes for enhanced release of superoxide; AEBSF blocked priming. Means ± SE, n = 4.
