Reduced levels of MHC-II⁺, CD40⁺ and increased levels of CD71⁺ DCs in SGF BALB/c PLN.

<p>Flow cytometric analysis of cells isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), pancreatic lymph nodes (PLN), auricular lymph nodes (ALN), Peyer’s patches (PP), spleen (S) and liver (L) from BALB/c mice receiving STD or SGF diet. (A) Bars represent percentages of MHC-II⁺CD11c⁺ dendritic cells after gating on CD11c⁺ cells. (B) Bars represent percentages of CD40⁺CD11c⁺ dendritic cells after gating on CD11c⁺ cells. (C) Bars represent percentages of CD71⁺CD11c⁺ dendritic cells after gating on CD11c⁺ cells. Data are represented as mean values ± standard error of the mean (n = 3–6). * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
