Surface phenotype of human DCs after exposure to a range of G. vaginalis or L. reuteri concentrations. The dot plots and histograms show MFI values on gated DCs. DC-SIGN/CD86 dot plots gated on human DCs. Data from a representative experiment comparing G. vaginalis-induced DC process of maturation with that induced by L. reuteri.
