DCs from pJME/GM-CSF/CS-treated mice capture and process antigens more efficiently compared with DCs from other vaccinated mice. (A) Flurorescein isothiocyanate-dextran uptake by splenic DCs during the incubation period of 0–60 min. (B) DQ-OVA processing by splenic DCs during the incubation of 60 min. GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; DC, dendritic cells; CS, chitosan; OVA, ovalbumin; JE, Japanese encephalitis; pJME, premembrane and envelope proteins derived from JE virus; MFI, mean fluorsecence intensity.
