Fig. 3From: Aedes aegypti saliva impairs M1-associated proinflammatory phenotype without promoting or affecting M2 polarization of murine macrophagesMacrophage spare respiratory capacity is decreased in the presence of Ae. aegypti SGE. Thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages were collected and cultured in Seahorse plates as described in Methods. Mitochondrial function was compared in basal conditions and after the sequential addition of oligomycin (1 μg/ml), CCCP (4.5 μM) and rotenone/antimycin A (1 μM each) on a Seahorse flux analyzer. Basal and maximal OCR are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 versus control group (cells incubated with medium only)Back to article page
