TPPU treatment enhanced the phagocytosis of macrophages.

A, Macrophages pretreated with or without TPPU and LPS were co-incubated with fluorescent microspheres and observed and photographed under fluorescence microscope. Mean channel fluorescence (MCF) per cell was assessed. B, Macrophage phagocytic ability was assessed by flow cytometry. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, ^#P < 0.05 versus Con group, ^∗P < 0.05 versus LPS group. LPS, lipopolysaccharide.
