Morphology of THP-1 after stimulation with lactobacilli. (A) Morphology of THP-1 after stimulation with L. crispatus. THP-1 was incubated with live L. crispatus (ratio = 1:500) for the indicated times. Inverted microscopy image of cells in culture at a magnification of 200× is presented. (B) Morphology of THP-1 after stimulation with 6 species of Lactobacillus. THP-1 was incubated with different species of Lactobacillus (L. crispatus, L. fermentum, L. jensenii, L. gasseri, L. delbrueckii1, and L. johnsonii) (ratio = 1:500) for 96 h. Inverted microscopy image of cells in culture at a magnification of 200× is presented.
