Figure 1
Log FDP concentration (log μg/mL) in fingerstick (small open circles) and venipuncture (small closed circles) serum after 1 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours incubation at 37°. Lines connect the means (large circles) of the data points. P-values for the differences in the means of the fingerstick and venipuncture results are indicated for the three time intervals.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Log MMP-3 concentration (log ng/mL) in fingerstick (small open circles) and venipuncture (small closed circles) serum after 1 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours incubation at 37°. Lines connect the means (large circles) of the data points.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Log proMMP-9 concentration (log ng/mL) in fingerstick (small open circles) and venipuncture (small closed circles) serum after 1 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours incubation at 37°. Lines connect the means (large circles) of the data points. P-values (based upon paired t-tests) for the differences in the means of the fingerstick and venipuncture results are indicated for the three time intervals.
Figure 4
Figure 4
Log neutrophil elastase concentration (log ng/mL) in fingerstick (open circles) and venipuncture (closed circles) serum from a single subject after 1 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours incubation at 37°.
Figure 5
Figure 5
Log FDP concentration (log μg/mL) in venipuncture serum after 1 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours incubation at 37° in control samples (small open circles) or samples containing ~ 3.5 μg/mL MMP-9 catalytic domain (small closed circles). Lines connect the means (large circles) of the data points. P-values (based upon paired –tests) for the differences in the means of the results with or without MMP-9 catalytic domain are indicated for the three time intervals.
