Figure Lengend Snippet: a Representative images of the aggregation behavior of rat peritoneal macrophages following treatment with various polysaccharides (Scale bar = 50 μm). b Quantification of aggregated rat peritoneal macrophages treated with various polysaccharides. c Schematic illustration of the mouse hepatic thermal injury model. d Representative images of mouse organs in the mouse hepatic thermal injury model after treatment with sHAChiF, showing F4/80 (yellow; pseudocolor), Chi (cyan; pseudocolor), and sHA (magenta; pseudocolor) (Scale bar = 10 mm). e Quantification of F4/80 expression on the wound by measuring fluorescence with APC/Fire TM anti-F4/80 antibody, normalized by fluorescence levels in the normal liver. f Quantification fluorescence of sHA from sHA Cy7.5 on the wound (left) and Chi from Chi Cy5.5 on the wound (right), normalized by fluorescence from normal liver. g Schematic illustration of analysis for sHA uptake behavior of peritoneal cells using flow cytometry. Peritoneal cells gated based on sHA + population ( h ), grouping of sHA + LPM and sHA + SPM by F4/80 and CD11b expression levels ( i ), the ratio of peritoneal cell populations distinguishing between sHA - and sHA + populations ( j ). Data are shown as mean ± SD ( n = 3) independent samples in a , b ; n = 4 independent samples in d – f ; n = 4 independent samples in h – j . Two-tailed unpaired t-test was used for statistical analysis of f . One-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test was used for statistical analysis of b , e . Source data are provided as a Source Data file. Image was created using PowerPoint.
