Low-Frequency Low-Intensity Ultrasounds Do Not Influence the Survival and Immune Functions of Cultured Keratinocytes and Dendritic Cells

US at 42 KHz and 0.15 do not alter DC viability. DC cultures treated with 3 cycles of US or left untreated were stained with annexin V and PI and analyzed by flow cytometry. The x-axis and y-axis indicate the fluorescence intensities of annexin V binding and PI incorporation, respectively. Annexin or annexin/PI DC represented early and late apoptotic DC, whereas PI DC were necrotic DC. Representative experiment of five performed is shown.
