Quantitation of TLR mRNA by real-time quantitative RT-PCR in freshly isolated monocytes (Mono), CD11c+ imDCs, and plasmacytoid pre-DCs (pDC), and in immature and mature DCs induced from them. Monocytes were cultured with 50 ng/ml GM-CSF and 200 U/ml IL-4 for 5 d to obtain imDC1 and were further stimulated with CD40L-transfected L cells for 24 h to obtain mDC1. CD11c+ imDCs were stimulated with CD40L-transfected L cells for 24 h to obtain mature CD11c+ DCs. Plasmacytoid pre-DCs were cultured with 10 ng/ml IL-3 for 5 d to obtain imDC2 and were further stimulated with CD40L-transfected L cells for 24 h to obtain mature DC2. The amounts of mRNA were quantitated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, and were shown by arbitrary unit relative to the amount of ubiquitin mRNA. The data shown are representative of three experiments.
