From: C-reactive protein does not opsonize early apoptotic human neutrophils, but binds only membrane-permeable late apoptotic cells and has no effect on their phagocytosis by macrophages

Figure 6

Macrophage phagocytosis of late apoptotic neutrophils. CRP (100 μg/ml) was allowed to bind to human neutrophils that had been aged for 72 h (>70% late apoptotic) prior to assessment of phagocytosis by human macrophages. Prior incubation with CRP had no effect on the precentage of macrophages that phagocytosed one or more late apoptotic neutrophils.
