Table 1. Absolute number and percentage of total DC, myeloid and plasmacytoid DC.
Colonization | CD11c+ cells | Myeloid DC | Plasmacytoid DC | |
% of leukocytes | absolute number [×105] | % of CD11c+ cells | % of CD11c+ cells | |
Germfree | 2.4±0.9 | 4.08±3.42 | 75.0±0.8 | 10.1±3.9 |
B. vulgatus | 2.3±0.4 | 4.02±1.93 | 71.3±3.8 | 11.0±4.6 |
E. coli/B. vulgatus | 2.3±0.9 | 3.14±0.69 | 68.0±6.5 | 9.4±4.2 |
E. coli | 1.1±0.5a | 2.18±1.16 | 62.5±12.6 | 13.1±4.1 |
SPF | 0.8±0.4a | 3.31±1.85 | 50.7±8.0a | 19.9±7.0 |
p<0.05 compared to B. vulgatus mpk mono-colonized, co-colonized and germfree mice. The results are representative for at least six animals. Numbers indicate the percentage of CD11c positive cells or absolute numbers of CD11c positive cells±SD.
