The effect of isoflurane and sevoflurane on <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i> phagocytosis.

RAW264.7 cells (A), thioglycollate-induced mouse peritoneal macrophages (B) and PMA-stimulated THP-1 cells (C) were used to test macrophage phagocytosis of fluorescent E. coli opsonized with serum under Isoflurane (1%) or Sevoflurane (1.5%). Phagocytosis was assessed using flow cytometry as described in Methods. Data are shown as mean +/- S.D. of quadruplicates. Representative figures from two independent experiments are shown. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc analysis. *** represents p<0.001, respectively.
