Figure 1

Expression of phagocytic receptors CR3 and FcγR on peritoneal macrophages among control, laparotomy, and laparoscopy groups. Peritoneal lavage was collected from the control mice (n = 8) and mice that underwent laparotomy (n = 8) or laparoscopy (n = 8) 24 h after the surgical procedures. Surface expression of CR3 and FcγR on peritoneal macrophages was assessed by FACScan analysis and expressed as mean channel fluorescence (MCF) per cell. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 compared with control mice, p < 0.05 compared with mice that underwent laparotomy.
