Phagocytosis of immunobiotic Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937 by porcine blood monocytes-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). MoDCs were treated with the immunobiotic strain L. jensenii TL2937 or the non-immunoregulatory strain L. plantarum TL2766. Untreated MoDCs were used as controls. Bacterial phagocytosis by MoDCs was evaluated using (a) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) or (b) Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The number of bacteria incorporated in the cells was counted using TEM and results were expressed as the average of bacteria number per cell (c). Photos represent data from three independent experiments using different donors. In experiments cells were used in a concentration of 1.0 × 107 cells/well. Scale bar = 50 μm
