Mac-1–deficient PMNs efficiently phagocytose and kill Ab-opsonized
C albicans. Tg mouse PMNs (Mac-1+/− and Mac-1−/−) were incubated with C albicansin the presence of FcαRI-directed BsAb. (A) Phagocytosis was analyzed by light microscopy after 30 minutes. (B) Flow cytometric analysis of FcαRI-mediated C albicans uptake by Tg Mac-1+/− (▪) and Tg Mac-1−/− PMNs (░). Results are expressed as percentage of PMNs that mediated phagocytosis (mean ± SEM [n = 4]). (C) FcαRI-mediated killing of C albicans by Tg PMNs (Mac-1+/− and Mac-1−/−) after 2 hours. Results are mean ± SEM based on 4 individual experiments. Bars indicate 10 μm.
