Figure 5. Role of CD36 and TSP-1 in phagocytosis mediated by macrophages.

Figure 5

Graphs show the effects of CD36 and TSP-1 functional antibodies or control IgG on phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils mediated by U937 cells or THP1 cells. In both cases, blockade of CD36 or TSP-1 significantly reduced hypoxia-induced phagocytosis. Data show the intensity of fluorescence in arbitrary units (quantified by static cytometry). Bars represent mean± SEM (n>3). Groups were compared using ANOVA followed by a Newman Keuls test. *P<0.05 shows significant difference with respect to all groups in the same graph.
