Andrographolide (AD) enhanced the phagocytic and bactericidal activities of peritoneal macrophages in mice with cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis (n = 8). Peritoneal lavage fluid was obtained 24 and 48 h after CLP surgery. (A) Cells were stained for macrophage markers (CD11b+F4/80+) and assessed for phagocytic capacity as described in Section 2. CD86 and F4/80 double-positive cells indicate M1-type macrophages. (B) Cells were stained for macrophage surface markers (CD11b+F4/80+) and intracellular cytokine antibodies for inducible nitric oxide synthase or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. All values are shown as means ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs CLP group; **P < 0.01 vs CLP group. Each group had eight mice.
