Maturation of bone-marrow-derived CD103+ DCs after transfection with LAH4-L1 (L1)- or LAH4-L1R (L1R)-formulated tOVA mRNA. CD103+ DCs were left untreated (UTX) or transfected on day 13 with mRNA encoding tOVA (unmodified, RNA/modified, MOD), or without mRNA (MOCK). The next day, cells were harvested and stained for DC markers and the maturation markers CD86 and CD40. Percentage CD40 and CD86 expression within the CD11c+ CD103+ DCs (a); cells were treated with LPS or R848 as a positive control; positive control for transfection was performed with jetMessenger® (JM); positive control for antigen presentation where DCs were pulsed with SIINFEKL (SII). Overlay graphs for CD40 and CD86 expression (b); one representative result. n = 6; each dot represents one replicate, mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparison test: **** p < 0.0001 compared to the untreated cells; #### p < 0.0001 compared to jetMessenger®-mRNA.
