FIGURE 1. The effects of neuropeptide treatment on phagosome maturation.

FIGURE 1.

The isolated magnetic bead–containing vesicles were immunoblotted for Rab5 and Rab7. The ratio of Rab7 to Rab5 was calculated from the intensity of the bands. Presented are (A) a representative immunoblot and (B) the mean ± SEM of the relative ratio of Rab7/Rab5 from three independent experiments. *There is a highly significant (p = 0.008) suppression in the expression of Rab7 to Rab5 in the macrophages cotreated with α-MSH and NPY. This demonstrates suppression in the maturation of the phagosomes.
