Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Mediated Apoptosis Involved in Indirect Recognition Pathway Blockade Induces Long-Term Heart Allograft Survival

Figure 4

(a) B6 alloAg-pulsed, CD80 lenti- and CD86 lenti-transduced DCs were inferior stimulators of naïve syngeneic C3H T cells, compared to alloAg-pulsed NC lenti-transduced DCs or no treated DCs. * 𝑃 < . 0 5 compared to NC lenti/No treated. (b) DCs loaded with debris B6 spleen cells were injected into syngeneic C3H mice ( 3 × 1 0 6 /mouse). Seven days later, recipients were sacrificed and splenic T cells challenged ex vivo with 𝛾 -irradiated C3H DCs pulsed with Ag (BALB/c, C3H, or B6 splenocyte lysates). Data are expressed as cpm ± 1SD from triplicate cultures and are representative of four separate experiments.
