Phagocytosis of non-viable Lactobacillus gasseri strains by porcine alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages were stimulated with non-viable L. gasseri TMT36 (HK36), TMT39 (HK39), or TMT40 (HK40) and phagocytosis was evaluated by flow cytometry and microscopic analysis. The results represent data from three independent experiments. Significant differences were observed when compared to control porcine alveolar macrophages treated with PBS. * (p < 0.05), ** (p < 0.01).
