Phagocytosis of Candida albicans Inhibits Autophagic Flux in Macrophages

Figure 5

β-Glucan treatment increases autophagic flux in THP-1-derived macrophages. (a) THP-1-derived macrophages were treated with β-glucan in the presence or absence of NH4Cl for the indicated period. The LC3-II/β-actin ratio was increased after β-glucan treatment for 8 hours. (b) THP-1-derived macrophages were treated with β-glucan in the presence or absence of BAF-A1 for the indicated time. The LC3-II/β-actin ratio was increased after β-glucan treatment for 8 hours. Bars represent the mean ± SEM of independent experiments ().
