Inhibition of COPII-mediated transport had no influence on phagocytosis. 293T/RIIA-FLAG cells were transfected with the N-terminally YFP-tagged COPII components as indicated. After 12 h, the cells were incubated with IgG-opsonized latex beads for 40 min, and then the incompletely ingested beads were stained as in Figure 5. The association index (left panel) and the phagocytosis index (right panel) were calculated from 50 transfected cells per condition. Data presented are the mean ± SE of three independent experiments.
