Effect of MSC and DC coculture time on DC phenotype was detected by flow cytometry. (a, b) MSC + DC 5 d, MSC + DC 3 d, and MSC + DC 1 d refer to MSCs and DCs coculture for 5 days, 3 days, and 1 day, respectively. The effect of MSCs on the costimulatory molecules on the surface of DCs was more significant as the time of MSC and DC coculture increased. (, versus DC only group, versus DC only group).
