Figure 5. (PVPON/TA) multilayers can elicit a decrease in the extracellular M1 macrophage marker CD80 with p(I:C)-stimulated macrophages.
Flow cytometric analysis of CD80 within p(I:C)-stimulated BM-Mϕs in the presence or absence of (PVPON/TA) capsules for 24 hours (A). Macrophages were gated using forward scatter and side scatter profiles, doublets were excluded, and live cells were gated using side scatter profiles using a fixable live/dead stain, immunophenotyped by F4/80, and CD80 cell surface marker activation shown via percentage and geometric mean fluorescence intensity (gMFI). Pooled CD80 percentages represent 3 independent experiments done in triplicates depicting the percentage of CD80 expressing cells gated on the F4/80 population (B). ns, not significant; **p<0.01.
