Figure 5. Cytokine mRNA expression in dendritic cells and macrophages from infected mice.

Populations of DCs and macrophages were enriched from the spleens of WT and Pilrb −/− mice 5 days after i.p. challenge. Cells were then analyzed by RT-PCR for mRNA levels of IL27p28 (a) EBi3 (b) and IL-10 (c). Pooled data from one of two representative experiments is shown.
