Fig. 3. Efferocytosis of alveolar macrophages exposed to P. aeruginosa strains.

Fig. 3

Efferocytosis index of rat alveolar macrophages (NR8383) during exposure to the following strains of P. aeruginosa: wild type (WT; non-mucoid; PA14), mutated (virulence-attenuated PAKO), or mucoid (alginate overproducer; FRD1). The ratio of bacteria: macrophages; apoptotic cells during co-culture was 1:5:5. Mean + SEM; (Mean + SEM of control 50.13+4.8;) n=3; ANOVA p < 0.0001; Tukey’s post-hoc *p <0.0001; # p<0.01.
