Dendritic cell (DC) turnover is unaffected by ethanol (EtOH) feeding. DC were labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) by a single bolus injection followed by 14 days of BrdU in the drinking water. On day 15, BrdU was removed from the water source, and DC was assessed for loss of labeling over the subsequent week. (A) Splenic DC turnover. (B) Thymic DC turnover. *p ≤ 0.05 for water vs. EtOH. Error bars = SD, n = 3 mice/time-point.
