Figure 5. Effect of BPs on phagocytosis of E.coli.

Figure 5

Macrophages were either cultured in medium only or pretreated for 30 min with BPs. Phagocytosis was assayed using fluorescent E.coli bioparticles. (A) Intracellular fluorescence intensity; (B) Rate of phagocytosis; and (C) Microscopic representation of phagocytosis. Arrow indicates the phagocytosed E.coli particles. Data are presented as mean ± SD and are representative of six independent experiments. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01 compared with control group.
