FIGURE 3.
P. falciparum IRBCs activate DCs in a manner similar to that by MZs. ELISA measurement of TNF-α and IL-12 produced by FL-DCs (1 × 105/well in 200 μl of culture medium) stimulated with the indicated doses of the late stage (trophozoites and schizonts) IRBCs. Cells stimulated with RBCs and CpG-1826 (2 μg/ml) were analyzed as controls. Data are representative of four independent experiments.
