Figure 5a- Phagocytosis of bacteria in macrophages. The picture shows macrophages ingesting green fluorescent mycobacteria (indicated by arrows). The host cell membrane was stained by red fluorochorme PKH to define the limit of the cell. (The picture was provided by Zakaria Hmama)
Figure 5b- A SN-representation of the cell signaling network that regulates phagocytosis in the human macrophage. Both molecules and their interactions (non-covalent and covalent interactions) are represented as semantic agents and visualized as nodes (with distinct icons) on the diagram. Arrows represent the semantic relationships between different agents.
