The effect of TM9SF2 on phagocytosis of macrophages M2. A, B Knocking down TM9SF2 in THP-1-derived macrophages M2 at mRNA (A) and protein (B) levels. C The downregulation of macrophage phagocytosis on PE-stained IgG-coated latex beads by knocking down TM9SF2. D Downregulation of macrophage phagocytosis on PKH26-stained apoptotic Jurkat cells following TM9SF2 knockdown. Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence results with statistical values obtained from three biological replicates in one technical replicate. The data are representative of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, two-sided t-test. Red scale bar: 50 μm
