Surface expression of MHC class II DR antigens on caprine dendritic cells and effect of polar lipid fractions on surface expression for these molecules.

<p>Panel A shows representative histograms of surface expression of MHC class II DR molecules on cDCs cultured (dark line) or isotype matched control (dotted line) with culture media alone. Panels B and C correspond to cell surface expression of MHC class II DR molecule on cDCs when cultured for 16hr in culture media alone or culture media containing ConA or each of the polar lipid fractions (F1 to F7) extracted from <i>B. pseudomallei</i> as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0080368#pone-0080368-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1</a>. Panel C represents the Mean Fluorescence Channel (MFC) for MHC class II DR antigen expression in each cell culture. Panel D represents the % of positive cells for MHC class II DR antigen over the percentage of positive cells expressing MHC class II DR antigen on cDCs cultured in media alone.
