Phagocytosis of immunobiotic Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937 by mononuclear phagocytes from porcine Peyer’s patches (PPMPs). Isolated CD172a+ PPMPs cells were obtained by a MACS cell separation system (magnetic cell labeling). Isolated CD172a+ PPMPs were treated with the immunobiotic strain L. jensenii TL2937 or the non-immunoregulatory strain L. plantarum TL2766. Untreated CD172a+ PPMPs were used as controls. Bacterial phagocytosis by PPMPs was evaluated using (a) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) or (b) Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). In all the experiments cells were used in a concentration of 1.0 × 107 cells/well. Photos represent data from three independent experiments using different donors
