Published customer image: Ex vivo recognition of yeast particles and live fungi by inflammatory cells. A) Representative flow-cytometric analysis, gated on Ly-6G+ neutrophils, after coincubation of BIOgel-elicited inflammatory cells from wild type or dectin-1-deficient (Clec7a-/-) 129S6/SvEv interaction with serum-opsonized or non-opsonized zymosan. Positive staining for the A405-labelled zymosan identifies the neutrophils that are associated zymosan and only these cells exhibit conversion of APF, the ROS reporter. B) Representsative flow-cytometric analysis of CD11b and dectin-1 expression by inflammatory neutrophils and monocyte/M˜. Data represents specific receptor staining (shaded histograms) and isotype control staining (bold lines). Data representative of 2 independent experiments and consistent with previous experiments with thioglycollate. C) Inflammatory cells were loaded with APF and then incubated with serum-opsonized or non-opsonized A405-labelled zymosan or Pacific Orange-labelled C. albicans for 15 minutes. After this time the association of the inflammatory cells with zymosan was measured by flow-cytometry (upper panels) and in those cells that were interacting with zymosan the evidence for fluorescent conversion of APF was also quantified (lower panels). Data is derived from three independent experiments and the data derived from the use of dectin-1-deficient cells is shown relative to wild type cells (100%) as mean+/-95% confidence interval (raw representative data from one of the 3 independent experiments are shown in the Figure S1). The impact of complement osponization (˜C') and the use of different fungal particle used (˜F') were assessed by Two-way ANOVA (˜I' = Interaction statistic). Samples in which the 95% confidence intervals do not overlap with the mean wildtype are specific indicated with a # symbol. Differences in impairment of response observed with dectin-1-deficient cells were further analysed by Bonferroni post-tests. P values derived from individual Bonferroni post-tests are indicated with bracketed pairs of samples.From: McDonald JU, Rosas M, Brown GD, Jones SA, Taylor PR (2012) Differential Dependencies of Monocytes and Neutrophils on Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Complement for the Recognition of Fungal Particles in Inflammation.
