In vivo screening of fungal SMs in a wound-free zebrafish screening model. (A) Schematic of the zebrafish neutrophil recruitment inhibition assay. (B) Stereomicroscope images of fixed and stained fish showing neutrophil recruitment in the tail fin for 3 compounds each applied at a concentration of 10 μM, compared to the negative control (DMSO). (C) Quantification of the neutrophils recruited in the tail fin of zebrafish (*p-value<0.05, the graph is a representative graph of the 3 repeats performed). |
Live/Dead assay on neutrophils treated with Endocrocin. A. Fluorescent microscopy image of a live/dead stain of neutrophils treated with Endocrocin and a negative control. B. Quantification of the ratio of live and dead neutrophils in the fluorescent images. |
