Fig 9. Phagocytosis of fluorescent latex beads (2 μm) by infected PEMs in the three culture systems (static, slow flow rate 1.45 x 10⁻⁹ m/s and fast flow rate 1.23 x 10⁻⁷ m/s).

Phagocytosis is significantly higher in static than in flow system (p<0.05 by one-way ANOVA). The data are means ± standard deviations (SD), N = 3. Infection rate > 80%.
