FIGURE 4. BLyS promotes blood DC maturation.
Freshly isolated blood DCs were cultured with or without 200 ng/ml BLyS or 20 ng/ml LPS for 48 h, and CD83 expression was analyzed by flow cytometry. The graph depicts the percentages of CD83-expressing cells in the CD11c positive population observed following stimulation in two independent experiments (Exp #1 and Exp #2).
