Phagocytosis assay using BMMs from gene-targeted mice.
Fluorescent IgG-opsonized RBCs were incubated with BMMs from gene-targeted mice indicated at a ratio of 20:1. Internalized IgG-RBCs were counted under a fluorescence microscope. The results were expressed as the number of the internalized IgG-RBCs per 100 BMMs (phagocytic index). Results shown are the average of duplication and are representative of 2 independent experiments.
