Notes: (A) and (B) Proportion of mature DCs (CD11c, CD80, and CD86 positive cells) determined using flow cytometry; (C) IFN-γ and TNF-α production measured by ELISA. Data are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ns, not significant.

Abbreviations: QDs-RGD, quantum dots conjugated with arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide sequence; YLG-1, (17R,18R)-2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl chlorine E6 trisodium salt; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; DC, dendritic cell; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; SEM, standard error of the mean.
