Impact of CM on i-H37Rv phagocytosis by PMN. PMN () cultured for 1.5 h alone (N-T) or with control-CM, H37Rv-CM, or M-CM in the presence or not of cytochalasin B were incubated for 1 h with FITC-labeled i-H37Rv. Then, the percentage of cells that phagocytosed FITC-i-H37Rv was determined by FACS. Median ± SEM of one representative experiment is shown.
