Tamoxifen does not counteract the oxidase-driven alkalinization and swelling of the vacuole. (A) Distribution SNARF fluorescence ratios measured in a minimum of 700 fully phagocytosed SNARF-labeled Candida by human neutrophils. Fluorescence ratios are indicated on the left-hand side, a corresponding pH scale is provided on the right-hand side (see Materials and Methods for calibration of SNARF fluorescence ratio to pH). (B) Distribution of areas measured in a minimum of 340 individual vacuoles incorporating a single Candida. Boxes show medians and interquartile ranges of data, compiled from three independent experiments. Red circles locate the mean values, the asterisk locating the mean for DPI denotes statistical significance from the control p < 0.05.
