From: Water-pipe smoke condensate increases the internalization of Mycobacterium Bovis of type II alveolar epithelial cells (A549)

Fig. 2

Water pipe condensate (WPC) increases the uptake of FITC-Dextran by A549 cells. WPC (4 mg/ml) enhances the uptake of FITC-Dextran by A549 cells after 24 h continuous exposure as determined by FITC-Dextran uptake assay. The effect of LPS (0.1 mg/ml) on uptake was measured as a positive control. Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 versus control
