Expression of various phenotypic markers on dendritic cells before and after infection

Phenotypic markers	Control (Uninfected)	LPS stimulated	H37Rv infected
CD 40	40.7 ± 16.4	153.3* ± 15.8	82.8* ± 12.8
CD 80	39.2 ± 6.7	109.5* ± 8.3	92.4* ± 6.9
HLA DR	153.4 ± 18.6	639.9* ± 12.7	480* ± 12.4
CD 54	102.3 ± 16.3	292.2* ± 13.4	218.7* ± 11.4
CD 83	3.2 ± 1.1	11.4* ± 2.4	8.1* ± 1.5
CD 86	22.4 ± 3.2	86.2* ± 6.2	78.4* ± 5.7

Expression of each marker is presented as percentage positive cells. The values represent mean ± SEM of at least 17 independent experiments for each condition. The statistical significance is shown as compared to uninfected; *P < 0.05
