Figure 7

In vivo phagocytosis of labeled microbeads by AM is similar in SPC-sICAM-1 and wild-type mice. Mice were lightly anesthetized and intranasally inoculated with 5 × 107 FITC-conjugated polystyrene microbeads (1.7 micron). After 1 hour, mice were euthanized, and AM were recovered by whole lung lavage. Cells were recovered by centrifugation and examined by flow cytometry. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM for the percentage of AM that have engulfed beads (A) and the percentage of cells ingesting 1, 2, or > 2 beads (B). (n = 5 for all groups; no significant differences between groups)
