J774 cells were left untreated (control) or treated for 4 or 24 hours with cytokines (100 U/mL IFN-γ plus 1 μg/mL LPS) or treated with 0.5 mmol/L SNAP for 24 hours. IRP activity and ferritin content was determined as described in Materials and Methods. Values represent mean ± SD of 10 (IFN-γ/LPS) and 7 (SNAP) experiments. Values of IRP activity are given as a percentage of control.
