Anti-Inflammatory Protein of Schistosoma japonicum Directs the Differentiation of the WEHI-3B JCS Cells and Mouse Bone Marrow Cells to Macrophages

Figure 5

rSj16 induced WEHI-3B JCS cells showed phagocytic activity. WEHI-3B JCS cells were treated for 72 hours with 0.5  𝜇 g/mL rSj16 (rSj16, (c)), 0.5  𝜇 g/mL rGST (rGST, (b)), or medium alone (untreated, (a)) and then analyzed for the capacity of yeast-ingesting. (a)–(c) Arrows indicate the yeast-ingesting cells. White bars represent 50  𝜇 m (magnification, × 400). (d) Percentage of phagocytic cells after 72 hours treatment. The results are the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. 𝑃 < . 0 0 1 as compared with that of untreated group.
