Differential Recruitment of Dendritic Cells Subsets to Lymph Nodes Correlates with a Protective or Permissive T-Cell Response during Leishmania (Viannia) Braziliensis or Leishmania (Leishmania) Amazonensis Infection

Phenotyping dendritic cells (DCs) from the popliteal lymph nodes of BALB/c mice infected with L. (L.) amazonensis or L. (V.) braziliensis and their activation. (a) DCs were stained for the surface expression of CD11c and MHC class II molecules, (b) and their status of activation was analyzed using CD80 (b) and CD86 (c) markers. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. .
