Proliferation of CD4⁺ T cells cultured with stimulated or non-stimulated BMDCs. CD4⁺ T cells were isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes of C57BL/6 mice, labeled with CFSE and co-cultured for 7 days with BMDCs (non-stimulated, stimulated with LPS or Trichinella spiralis antigens) in the presence of recombinant mouse IL-2 and anti-CD3 antibody. Data are means ± SEM of one experiment carried out in triplicate representative of four independent experiments and they are expressed as the percentage of proliferating cells. ***P < 0.001 represents statistically significant difference to the non-stimulated BMDCs.
