Effect of pregnancy on CD103+ dendritic cells in the mesenteric lymph nodes. Percentage of dendritic cells (DCs) (A) and their expression of CD103 (B) in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) of pregnant and non-pregnant BALB/c and B6 mice. DCs are expressed as the percentage of CD11c+ cells within the F4/80MHC2+ population. Due to technical problems, several MLNs could not be used for immune cell analysis, which reduced the number of mice in these groups. Results are shown as dot plots + means and were tested for overall strain and pregnancy effects using a Two-way ANOVA, followed by a Bonferroni post-hoc test to test for strain specific pregnancy effects when interaction was found. Significant strain effects are indicated with solid lines and significant pregnancy effects are indicated with dashed lines (p < 0.05).
