Inhalation of low-dose endotoxin favors local TH2 response and primes airway phagocytes in vivo Neil E. Alexis, PhD, John C. Lay, PhD, Martha Almond, RRT, David B.

Fig 1 Individual subject (n=9) phagocytosis values for monocytes (A) and macrophages (B) at increasing doses of CCRE (0, 2500, 5000, and 10,000 EU). Mean values are shown as a horizontal dash (–) at each dose of CCRE. Phagocytosis is the ability to phagocytize IgG-opsonized zymosan (S cerevisiae) particles (expressed on the y axis as MFI).
