Figure 4. Altered gene expression of AMPs in moDCs after stimulation with M. stadtmanae and M. smithii.
2–4×106 moDCs were stimulated with 1×107 M. stadtmanae or M. smithii cells and medium (for control) over a period of 24 h. Subsequently, RNA was isolated according to manufacturer's protocol and reverse-transcribed. Relative quantification of expression of genes encoding HBD1 and LL37 were calculated with the LightCycler 480 Software in relation to house-keeping gene hprt.
