Platelets modulate adhesion and co-stimulatory molecules expression on monocytes in the context of Brucella abortus infection. THP-1 cells were infected with B. abortus in presence or absence of platelets for 4 h. (A) Monocyte population was identified in a FSC vs. SSC dot plot. The surface expression of CD54 (B) and CD40 (C) was assessed by flow cytometry within this region. Bars represent the arithmetic means ± SEM of five experiments. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity. *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001 vs. THP-1. ###P < 0.001 vs. THP-1 + Ba. THP-1:PTL:Ba 1:100:100.
