Results obtained after incubation of whole blood with saline solution (Neg), bovine albumin (Alb), non-pathological feline AGP (fAGP-NP), bovine AGP (bAGP) and pathological feline AGP (fAGP-P). The four graphs display the percentage of phagocytosing neutrophils (A), the median channel fluorescence (MCF) of neutrophils (B), the percentage of phagocytosing monocytes (C) and the MCF of monocytes (D). The boxes indicates the I–III interquartile range (IQR), the horizontal line indicates the median values, whiskers extend to further observation within the I quartile minus 1.5 ∗ IQR or to further observation within the III quartile plus 1.5 ∗ IQR. Asterisks indicate values that are significantly different from the negative control (saline solution) and the symbols † indicate values that are significantly different from non pathological fAGP: as regards neutrophils, both the percentage of the phagocytic cells and the MCF were significantly lower after incubation with pathological fAGP compared with controls and with non pathological fAGP. Conversely, as regards monocytes, the percentage of the phagocytic cells and the MCF were significantly lower after incubation with pathological fAGP compared with controls and with non-pathological fAGP. The incubation with bovine AGP induced a significant decrease of the percentage of the phagocytic cells only compared with controls but not with non-pathological fAGP.
