The role of phagocytosis in cytokine productions in RAW264.7 cells infected with M. leprae. The cells (10⁶) were incubated with cytochalasin D (5 uM) for 30 min and then treated M. leprae (MOI of 1 and 10) for 8 h, and supernatants were assayed for cytokines productions. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments, each performed in triplicates. ^*p<0.05, ^**p<0.01 vs. non-treatment (Non-Tx).
