Effect of DC-SIGN, TLR2 and TLR4 blocking on the expression of maturation markers in ES L1 treated dendritic cells (DCs). Immature DCs were incubated with ES L1 (50 μg/ml) alone, as well as in the presence of specific DC-SIGN blocking antibodies (20 ng/ml) alone or simultaneously with TLR2 and TLR4 blocking antibodies (10 μg/ml). Non-treated cells cultivated in medium were used as a negative control (control) and LPS (200 ng/ml) treated DCs were used as a positive control for complete maturation. After 48 h, the expression of markers (HLA-DR, CD83, CD86, CD40, CCR7 and ILT3) was measured by flow cytometry. (A) Representative analysis of surface markers expression is shown, and (B) the summarized results are shown as mean value of percentage (%) of markers expression ± SD from three different experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.005 as indicated by line (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s posttest).
