BDCA-1⁺ and BDCA-3⁺ mDCs are susceptible to infection with hMPV.

<p>(<b>A</b>) Kinetics of hMPV infection. BDCA-1⁺ and BDCA-3⁺ mDCs were exposed to hMPV at a MOI = 5 for 12, 24, or 40 hours. The percentage of live cells expressing anti-hMPV antibody was quantified using flow cytometry. Filled grey curve = uninfected DCs, solid line = hMPV-infected DCs,. Data is from one donor and is representative of three donors. (<b>B</b>) Comparison of hMPV infection rates in BDCA-1<b>⁺</b> vs. BDCA-3<b>⁺</b> mDCs (mean + SEM of three donors). (<b>C</b>) Comparison of infection rates by RSV vs. hMPV in each subset (mean + SEM of three donors).
