FIG. 1.
Morphological comparison between immature and mature dendritic cells (DCs). A representative image of immature DCs on day 6 in culture are shown (A: 400×), appearing round with some short synapses. A representative image of mature DCs after 10 days culture is also shown (B: 400×), appearing to have an increased cell volume with two or more obvious synapses. Flow cytometric graphs showing the proportion of CD11c+ and MHC-II+cells (approximately 40–50%; C) on day 6 in culture, and the proportion of CD11c+and MHC-II+cells (approximately 90–98%; D), on day 10 in culture.
