Enhanced phagocytosis of activated BMDMs is not a TLR-specific effect. (A) TLR-stimulated BMDMs were incubated with CFSE-stained apoptotic Jurkat cells and gated on CD45⁺ live cells. An FMO control with unstained Jurkat cells was used to set the phagocytosis gate. Percentage of phagocytosis was assessed as percentage of CFSE⁺ CD11b⁺ BMDMs: (B) representative plots and (C) quantification of the data. Bars represent mean + SEM of data collected from 4 to 11 independent experiments with n = 8–15 per stimulation. P values were calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by a multiple comparisons test. ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 (compared to media). FMO, fluorescence minus one.
