Figure 2. ECM-treatment causes a decreased expression of some DC maturation markers.

DC membrane phenotype was analyzed after 48 h of culture in the presence of FN or LMN (both at 10 µg/ml) compared with immature DC. Filled histograms represent isotype controls, control (1% BSA treated) DC are depicted with the solid black line, FN treated DC are depicted with the dashed black line and LMN treated DC are depicted with the solid gray line. Results depict one representative out of four independent experiments. * P<0.05.
