sHA-mediated DC stimulation is not dependent on TLR-2 expression. Day 6 bone marrow–derived DCs from C57BL/6 or C57BL/6TLR-2−/− were incubated for 48 h with the indicated concentrations of highly purified LPS from Salmonella abortus equi or sHA. (A) The cell free supernatants were screened for their TNF-α content by ELISA. Data represent the mean TNF-α release of triplicate wells; pg/mg total protein ± SD. (B) DCs were treated for 48 h with the same substances described in A, washed, and coincubated for 4 d with 105 alloreactive T cells at a DC/TC ratio of 1:20. T cell proliferation was determined on day 5 by addition of 1 μCi of 3[H]thymidine for the final 18 h. Results are shown in counts per minute (CPM) ± SD of triplicate wells.
