Fig. 3. Plasma markers of PMN activation. / Concentration of elastase, measured as elastase-α1AT complex, and of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in control subjects (C) and in patients with ET and PV (upper panels). In the lower panels, the ratio (elastase or MPO antigen concentration, [μg/L]/WBC count [109/L]) calculated for ET, PV, and control groups is depicted. Histograms represent mean values ± SEM. Statistical analysis as in Figure 1. *P < .05; **P < .01; both versus C.
