Mice with RAI have impaired phagocytic ability of phagocytes in sepsis. SR-BIfl/fl mice and SF1creSR-BIfl/fl mice were treated with CLP (25G, full ligation) for 17 h and then injected with 109 CFU/ml BODIPY-conjugated E. coli via i.p. After 1 hour, the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of E. coli in CD11b+ cells (A), macrophages (B) and neutrophils (C) in peritoneal fluids was analyzed with flow cytometry. n = 2-4. Data are means ± SE. Control represents mice without CLP and E. coli treatment.
