Comparison of the percentages of macrophage phagocytosis in the three groups. The phagocytosis abilities of the cells in different conditions (untreated macrophages, 50 µg/mL TQ-treated macrophages and 100 µg/mL TQ-treated macrophages were checked using flow cytometry to detect the percentage of macrophages that phagocyted FITC-conjugated E. coli. The results showed increased abilities of treated cells for phagocytosis, as significant results detected with the 50 µg/mL TQ showed that 68% of the cells phagocytosed E. coli compared to 41% of control cells. In addition, 58% of the 100 µg/mL TQ-treated cells phagocytosed E. coli. n = 5. ** p value ≤ 0.01.
