Dendritic Cells Transfected with MHC Antigenic Determinants of CBA Mice Induce Antigen-Specific Tolerance in C57Bl/6 Mice

Figure 3

Tolerogenic properties of the obtained DCs. Induction of (a) CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs and (b) IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells by the different DC groups in C57BL/6 mouse splenocyte cultures. (a) per group, (b) per group. Data are presented as median and interquartile range. Brackets indicate significant differences (the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s corrected multiple comparisons, , , and ). Spl: C57Bl/6 splenocytes cultured without adding DCs; non-EP DCs: C57Bl/6 splenocytes cocultured with nonelectroporated DCs; DCp5: C57Bl/6 splenocytes cocultured with DCs electroporated with p5; DCpIL-10: C57Bl/6 splenocytes cocultured with DCs electroporated with pIL-10; DCpMHC: C57Bl/6 splenocytes cocultured with DCs electroporated with pMHC.
