Immunohistochemistry showing microbead uptake in CD11b+ MGs/MΦs treated without Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) (2.5 μM; 3 days) (control) (A) or with PGD2 (B) (CD11b [(A,B): red]; DAPI [(A,B): blue]). Immunohistochemistry showed the uptake of FITC+ microbeads in both control CD11b+ MGs/MΦs and PGD2-treated CD11b+ MGs/MΦs, and FITC+ microbead uptake was obviously increased in PGD2-treated CD11b+ MGs/MΦs compared to the control.
