Changes in PP DCs after MMTV infectiona
| Mouse | MMTV | % CD11c+ | % CD71+/CD11c+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3H/HeN | − | 2.3 ± 0.2 | 25.1 ± 2.0 |
| C3H/HeN | + | 5.6 ± 1.0b | 38.4 ± 0.9b |
| C3H/HeJ | − | 1.9 ± 0.5 | 30.0 ± 3.0 |
| C3H/HeJ | + | 1.7 ± 0.4 | 27.5 ± 1.8 |
a
C3H/HeN or C3H/HeJ pups were foster nursed on uninfected or MMTV(LA)-infected C3H/HeN mothers (MMTV − or +, respectively). After 3 days, the percentage of CD11c+ cells in the PP and their expression of CD71 were analyzed by FACS. The experiment was performed three times with similar results. The data are presented as means ± SD.
b
P < 0.01 compared to the respective control group.
