FIGURE 4.
Phagocytic capacities of isolated Kupffer cells following trauma-hemorrhage or hypoxia. Kupffer cells were isolated as described in Materials and Methods. Following overnight incubation, the cells were cultured with bioparticles for 1 hour and phagocytosis determined as described in Materials and Methods. Data are mean ± SE; n = 6 animals/group. #P < 0.05 compared with sham and hypoxia; *P < 0.05 compared with sham and trauma-hemorrhage.
