MIP-1α at 100 ng/mL, anti–MIP-1α and control Ig at 100 μg/mL. Results shown are the mean ±SEM of data obtained in six independent experiments. The effect of anti–MIP-1α is highly significant by comparison with cultures to which only MIP-1α was added (P < .005), whereas the effect of control Ig is not (P > .3).
