Signaling through TLR-3 increases macrophages capacity to activate CD4 T cells. M2a and M2c macrophages loaded with antigen were cocultured with efluor-labeled antigen-specific CD4 T cells isolated from lymph nodes of OVA immunized mice. The proliferation was assessed by eFluor-dye dilution assay. Number in the flow cytometry histogram indicates the CD4 gated efluorlo cells. The results are also illustrated as bar graphs (side panel). The data expressed as mean ± SD are representative of two independent experiments (*p < 0.05).
