MFGE8-deficient resident peritoneal macrophages compensate for a delay in apoptotic cell clearance. MFGE8-deficient peritoneal CD11b+ macrophages were incubated with autologous pHrodo-SE-labeled thymocytes (0.02 μg/ml*106 cells) for 5 to 180 minutes and analyzed by flow cytometry. Means ± SEM (percent phagocytosing macrophages) of triplicates of a representative experiment. *P<0.05 vs. Control, two-way ANOVA and Student Newman Keuls' test, n=3.
