Three mice from each group were sacrificed at day 3 after Cpn infection. CD11c+ lung cells were isolated by CD11c-magnetic microbead selection. CD11c^hi non-autofluorescent lung cells were gated as LDCs as described in figure 1a. The surface molecule expression on LDCs was analyzed by flow cytometry. Statistical analyses were performed using a Student's t test. Data are shown as mean ± SD. One of the 2 independent experiments with similar results is shown. MFI = Mean fluorescence intensity.
