FIG. 8.
Ability of exogenous LTs to restore phagocytosis of K. pneumoniae in AMs from 5-LO KO mice. AMs from WT or 5-LO KO mice were treated with medium alone (control) or exogenous LTB4, LTC4, or 5-HETE (1 nM) for 5 to 10 min before the addition of opsonized K. pneumoniae. Data are expressed as the mean phagocytic index (percentage of control) ± SE of triplicate values. The phagocytic index for the control was 122 ± 16.
