Figure 6. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells obtained from fresh or cryopreserved bone marrow cells showed similar expression of CD40, CD86 and MHC-II in response to LPS.

Figure 6

Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) obtained from fresh or cryopreserved (frozen) bone marrow cells were either left untreated or stimulated with 1 µg/ml LPS for 24 h. BMDCs were stained for CD11b, CD11c, CD40, CD86 and MHC-II and analyzed by flow cytometry. Plots were gated on CD11b+ cells. Shown are the percentages (A) and mean fluorescence intensities (B) of CD11c+ cells expressing CD40, CD86 or MHC-II in response to LPS treatment. Data are representative of those found in two independent experiments. No statistically significant differences were detected between BMDCs obtained from fresh or frozen BM cells (P>0.05).
