Modulation of Human Colostrum Phagocyte Activity by the Glycine-Adsorbed Polyethylene Glycol Microspheres

Table 3

Intracellular Ca²⁺ release by mononuclear (MN) and polymorphonuclear (PMN) colostrum phagocytes in the presence of glycine adsorbed to PEG microsphere indicated by fluorescence intensity.

	Intensity of fluorescence
Colostrum phagocytes	(%; mean ± sd)
	MN	PMN
PBS	13.8±0.6	6.8±1.5^†
Glycine	30.1±9.5 *	24.6±9.0
PEG microsphere	18.9±0.9 *	24.5±8.9 *
PEG glycine	36.1±7.4^*+	38.9±2.8^*+

The results represent the mean and SD of five experiments with cells of different individuals. *𝑃<0.05 compared the treated cells with cells nontreated, considering the same kinds of phagocytes. ⁺𝑃<0.05 compared the different treatment, considering the same kinds of phagocytes. ^†𝑃<0.05 indicates differences between types of phagocytes, considering the same treatment.
