Figure 1. LP DC activation and maturation in germfree, gnotobiotic and SPF mice.

Figure 1

LP DC were isolated from the total intestine of GF, B. vulgatus mpk or E. coli mpk mono-colonized, E. coli mpk/B. vulgatus mpk co-colonized and SPF IL-2−/−-mice and analyzed for expression of CD40 and MHC-II by flow cytometry. The values represent at least six animals which were analyzed separately. Mean and SD were calculated from those independent experiments. Numbers indicate the percentage of positive cells±SD. Representative dotplots are shown from each group. * p<0.05 compared to germfree and B. vulgatus mpk mono-colonized IL-2−/−-mice.
