Flow cytometric analysis of inflammatory cells. MI in the PI model induces marked neutrophil recruitment and an egress of monocytes (a) within 7 days after injury measured via flow cytometry on hole heart digests. Cardiac macrophages and dendritic cell percentages are unaltered after myocardial injury (b). N = 3 per group. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. #p < 0.05 versus Control.
