() ZK cell lines and primary AMs with MSsignificantly diminished phagocytosis of fluorescent latex beads

Values shown are the means ± SD from four separate experiments. **Significant difference from WT control, < 0.001. () Polyinosinic acid (PolyI) had no effect but dextran sulfate (DS) increased binding by ZK1 cells.

In contrast, PolyI and DS marked reduced wild-type AM binding of the latex beads. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD and compared to the control in each group (WT, MS, ZK1, respectively). *Significant difference compared with ZK1 (< 0.05); **Significant difference compared with WT (< 0.001). PolyI and DS (500 kDa), 10 μg/ml each.
