Figure 5.

Effect of isolated chrysolaminarin on phagocytic activity of RAW264.7 cells. (A) The pictures of macrophages engulfing fluorescent latex beads under a fluorescence microscope; (B) phagocytosis assay was examined by flow cytometry; (C) the percentage of phagocytic cells is determined by the number of macrophages that ingest at least one fluorescent latex bead divided by 1000 macrophages. Significant differences from control group are indicated by * p < 0.05. The data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3).
