Effect of luteolin on the phagocytic activity in polarised BMDMs. The BMDMs that have phagocytosed Gram-positive bacilli (a) or Candida albicans (b) are stained with Wright-Giemsa Stain to visualize in the field. Phagocytosis of pathogens was determined by counting at least 50 cells per well, and the number of Gram-positive bacilli/cells (c) or Candida albicans/cells (d) were graphed in the histograms. Arrows indicate phagocytic cells. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. Different symbols indicate a significant difference according to ANOVA and Tukey’s test. *P < 0.05 vs. control group; &P < 0.05 vs. LPS + IFN-γ-treated group
