Figure 5.
IL-12 concentration was increased in DCs.
Notes: Mononuclear cells: samples (n=3) of mononuclear cells before induction with cytokines. iDCs: samples of cells after induction with GM-CSF and IL-4. mDC-TNF: iDCs after induction with GM-CSF, IL-4, and TNF-α; mDC-BCSC: iDCs after induction with GM-CSF, IL-4, and TNF-α. IL-12 concentration of induced groups (mDCs) increased significantly compared with the control group (mononuclear cells). * denotes statistically significant difference.
Abbreviations: BCSC, breast cancer stem cell; DC, dendritic cell; iDC, immature dendritic cell; mDC, mature dendritic cell; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; IL, Interleukin.
