Difference in phagocytic activity of THP-1 macrophages treated with MAFs. Phagocytic activity was evaluated by using fluorescence (IBRf) to determine the internalised bead ratio. Details of these calculations are described in the Materials and Methods section. MAFs used in this experiment are as follows: 1 μg/ml LPS + 1 ng/ml IFN-γ, 8 μg/ml serum MAF. Error bars represent SDs (n=3). *p=0.0003 (t-test).
- Figure 2.
Migratory activity of THP-1 macrophages treated with MAFs. The average migration distance of macrophages was analyzed (A). Error bars represent SD (n=3). *p=0.40, and **p=0.02 (t-test). Plots of migration distance versus the number of engulfed beads of each macrophage are shown (B-D). MAFs used in this experiment are as follows: no MAFs (B), 1 μg/ml LPS + 1 ng/ml IFN-γ (C), 8 μg/ml serum MAF (D).

Phagocytic assay treated with MAFs in suspension conditions. MAFs used in this experiment are as follows: 1 μg/ml LPS + 1 ng/ml IFN-γ, 8 μg/ml serum MAF. Error bars represent SD (n=3). *p=0.0004 (t-test).
