Figure 7. IL-10 alters maturation and antigen uptake.

(A) Peritoneal cells were isolated from male and female SJL mice at 4 h p.i. with FITC-OVA plus anti (α)-IL-10 or control mAb treatment. The CD11b^loF4/80^lo cells analyzed for Ly6C expression identify three populations—Ly6C⁻, Ly6C^lo, and Ly6C^hi—as shown in Fig. 4A. (A) Percentages of Ly6C⁻, Ly6C^lo, and Ly6C^hi cells in control mAb and anti-IL-10-treated males and females. Data represent means ± sem of four mice in each group analyzed individually. (B) Percentages of FITC-OVA⁺ CD11b^loF4/80^lo cells in control mAb and anti-IL-10-treated mice. Data represent means ± sem of four mice in each group analyzed individually. *P < 0.05.
