Fig. 6From: Tick sialostatins L and L2 differentially influence dendritic cell responses to Borrelia spirochetesDifferentiation of dendritic cells from bone-marrow cells is inhibited by sialostatin L. Bone-marrow cells were cultured in the presence of GM-CSF and on day 3 the Sialo L or Sialo L2 (3 μM) were added to cultures. After 8 days, cells were harvested and analysed by flow cytometry for surface expression of MHC class II and CD11c (a). Differentiated cells (MHC II and CD11c positive) are shown as a percentage of total CD11c positive cells (b). The representative of three independent experiments is shownBack to article page
