Activation of J77A.1 Macrophages by Three Phospholipases A2 Isolated from Bothrops atrox Snake Venom

Figure 5

Effect of BaTX-I, BaTX-II, and BaPLA2 on phagocytosis of opsonized zymosan by J774A.1 macrophages. 2 × 105 macrophages were incubated for 60 minutes with toxins (6 µg/mL) or RPMI (control) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 before addition of opsonized zymosan particles. Values represent the mean ± S.E.M. from 3 independent experiments * compared with control (ANOVA).
