DC Activation following infection with different strains of <i>P. aeruginosa</i>.

Abstract

<p>Levels of CD86 (<b>A</b>) and CD40 (<b>B</b>) following DC activation 24 hours following treatment with the indicated microbes. The panels show representative plots of isotype staining (solid shading), staining of unstimulated DCs (solid line) and staining following microbial treatment (dotted line). <b>B</b> and <b>C</b>, mean fold-increase in mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD86 and CD40 respectively in 5 independent individuals. This was calculated as the fold-increase in MFI in infected DCs versus uninfected controls. Columns show mean and SEM.</p
