From: Toll-like receptor stimulation increases phagocytosis of Cryptococcus neoformans by microglial cells
Phagocytosis of C. neoformans by unstimulated and stimulated microglial cells. Microglia were either unstimulated or stimulated with Pam3CSK4 0.1 μg/ml, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 0.01 μg/ml or CpG 1 μg/ml for 24 h (n ≥20 wells/group from five independent experiments). In each experiment, the mean number of bacteria ingested by the control group was considered to be 100%. Phagocytic rates of the stimulated groups are presented as percentages of phagocytosis by the unstimulated control group. Data are given as medians with interquartile ranges. Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test to correct for repeated testing; *** P<0.001.
