Inhibition of fMLP-induced migration of human neutrophils by cannabinoids

IC50 and Emax values (percentage of inhibition of fMLP-induced migration) were calculated from sigmoidal concentration-response curves constructed in GraphPad Prism 4. The data represent the mean with 95% confidence limits, n = 3 to 9.
