Cysticerci Drive Dendritic Cells to Promote In Vitro and In Vivo Tregs Differentiation

Figure 1

Parasite effect on DC differentiation and activation. Monocytes were differentiated to DC in presence of IL-4 and GM-CSF, plus medium or dexamethasone or Taenia crassiceps cysticerci. On day 8, the DC phenotype was studied. Representative data of three independent experiments are shown. Expression of CD80, CD83, CD86, CD40, SLAMF1, B7-H1, and CD205 gated on CD11c+ cells was analyzed by FACS. The isotype controls are shown in white histograms.
