Effects of CNF samples on DC differentiation, maturation, and cytokines production.

Notes: (A) A representative analysis of CD1a/CD14 expression on DC after the culture with CNF samples, and (B) the summarized results on % of CD14+ and CD1a+ DC. (C, D) The phenotypic analysis of DC 16 hours after LPS/IFN-γ stimulation or without stimulation (medium) for the indicated surface markers (C) or intracellular cytokines (D) is shown. (E) The levels of cytokines in DC culture supernatants as determined by ELISA. The data from seven (BD) or five (E) independent experiments with different DC donors are presented as mean ± SD. *P<0.05 as indicated (RM ANOVA Tukey’s post-test).
