Table 2.

Indirect quantification of the number of neutrophil-associated bacteria determined as the mean fluorescence intensity emitted by the FITC-labeled bacteria after phagocytosis. The numbers in bold highlights the antibodies that mediated higher bacterial attachment and phagocytosis by neutrophils. Different letters (a, b or c) indicates statistically different results (p < 0.05) within the  column.
