CD11c⁺ cells and expression of CD80⁺, CD86⁺ and MHC class II⁺ on CD11c⁺ cells in spleen and MeLN.

<p>Histograms corresponding to the cell populations in the spleen from one representative mouse from each group (A). Gate boundaries were set by fluorescence minus one controls (solid grey). The fraction of CD11c⁺ cells (B) and CD11c⁺CD80⁺, CD11c⁺CD86⁺ and CD11c⁺MHCII⁺ cells in spleen (C) and MeLN (D) of <i>Apoe^−/−</i> and <i>Apoe^−/− Tap1^−/−</i> mice. The cells were isolated from respective tissue, stained with fluorescent antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry. Each dot in the figure represents one mouse. *<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01.
