FIGURE 6.
The effects of dexamethasone and IL-10 treatment on the phenotype of porcine MoDCs. Four-day-old MoDCs were treated with either dexamethasone or IL-10 for 24 h before surface staining with various anti-porcine or anti-human mono/poly-clonal antibodies for flow cytometric analysis of surface molecules involved in antigen presentation and maturation (A) or against other co-stimulatory molecules and myeloid lineage markers (B) in untreated MoDCs (unfilled bars), dexa treated MoDCs (blue bars), or IL-10 treated MoDCs (orange bars). Bars show mean percentage of cells expressing each marker +SD (A,B). One-way ANOVA was used to assess significance followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test ∗∗∗p < 0.0001, ∗∗p < 0.001, ∗p < 0.05.
