A) Transwell assay; Microscopic inspection (40× magnification) of RAW 264.7 cells after 24 h incubation with S. ilicifolium extracts (4 μg/μL), B) Level of nitric oxide (NO) production when threated with S. illicilolum extract (4 μg/μL), C) phagocytosis ability in RAW 264.7 cells. Positive control- Lipopolysaccharide (25 μg/mL). Microscopic inspection (10× magnifications) before and after neutral red uptake during 24 h of phagocytosis ability. (Red arrow shows neutral red partial uptake). The given values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n=8). (*) indicates statistically significant difference and (ns) indicates statistically no significant difference from the control group using ANOVA, followed by Turkey multiple comparisons test (P>0.05)
