Figure 5. Pro-inflammatory cytokine production by peripheral blood DC subsets.

Figure 5

PBMC were stimulated for 5 hours with TLR-agonists, and simultaneously treated with Brefeldin A. Cells were immuno-stained with antibodies against surface markers as demonstrated in Figure 1, then intracellularly stained to detect TNF-alpha production. Numbers in plots represent percentage of CD4+ DC (A), CD11c+ DC (B), and CD11c DC (C) producing TNF-alpha. Plots are representative of one animal. Graphs (D) show TNF-alpha production by DC subsets in 4 animals. Data are representative of two independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviation.
