Mice were administered thioglycollate by intraperitoneal injection, and cells were harvested by peritoneal lavage 4 hours later. (A) Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI for microscopic examination. Percentages of WT and Vavnull cells with segmented nuclei were independently scored in triplicate and presented as the mean ± SD. (B) Cells were subsequently stained for the indicated markers and analyzed by FACS.

-
Bone marrow–derived macrophages from WT and Vavnull mice were stimulated with LPS (0.1 µg/mL) for the indicated time points. Activation of Erk MAPK was assayed by probing of immunoblots with antibodies recognizing phosphorylated Erk1/2 (pERK1/2). Protein loading was verified by stripping and reprobing of blots with antibodies against total Erk2.
