Comparison of selected cytokines produced by hMPV-infected BDCA-1⁺ vs. BDCA-3⁺ mDCs.

<p>DC subsets were isolated and incubated with hMPV or media for 40 hours. Cytokine and chemokine levels were measured in cell-free supernatant by multiplex assay. Data represents the mean + SEM of the fold change in cytokine production by infected cells as compared to uninfected cells of the same type from 6 donors. Linear data is reported on a logarithmic scale. The dotted line represents a 2 fold induction from baseline. Black bars = uninfected cells, white bars = hMPV-infected cells. *<i>p≤0.05</i> between BDCA-1⁺ and BDCA-3⁺ mDCs as calculated by 2-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test.
