Figure 4From: Free exopolysaccharide from Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides possesses anti-inflammatory properties Effect of free Mmm galactan on surface expression of CD40 ( A ) and CD80 ( B ) on bovine macrophages. Cells were incubated for 48 h with galactan (EPS) at 0.1, 1 and 10 µg/mL, or with LPS and medium only (C−) as positive and negative controls respectively. Cell-surface expression of CD40/CD80 was measured by flow cytometry and results expressed as mean (±SD) percentages of positive cells for a given marker (n = 3). Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) with the negative control.Back to article page
