The influence of bacteriophages and bacteriophage-generated bacterial lysates on the expression on myeloid dendritic cells of receptors involved in phagocytosis. Human mDCs were differentiated from monocytes during five-day cultures with IL-4 (100 ng/ml) and GM-CSF (250 ng/ml) in the presence of individual phage preparations including purified preparation of T4 (white bars, Inline graphic), T4-generated Escherichia coli lysate (white bars, Inline graphic), purified preparation of A3/R (gray bars, Inline graphic), or A3/R-generated Staphylococcus aureus lysate (gray bars, Inline graphic). In control cultures cells were treated with equal volumes of PBS. The expression on mDCs of DEC-205 and CD64 molecules was determined by flow cytometry. The bars show the percentages of mDCs expressing DEC-205 and CD64. The experiment was repeated five times. p < 0.05.
