A DNA vaccine against tuberculosis based on the 65 kDa heat-shock protein differentially activates human macrophages and dendritic cells-0

DCs was evaluated by flow cytometry (all markers are indicated by solid lines). Dotted-line histograms indicate isotype control mAb. These results are representative of seven independent experiments. (C) Expression of CD1c, CD123 (IL-3 receptor) and BDCA-4 on the surface of DCs. (D) IFN-alpha production by monocyte-derived DC (mo-DC) and plasmacytoid DC (pDC). These results are representative of three independent experiments. (E) Intracellular expression of TLR9 by macrophages and DCs analysed by confocal microscopy.Copyright information:Taken from "A DNA vaccine against tuberculosis based on the 65 kDa heat-shock protein differentially activates human macrophages and dendritic cells"http://www.gvt-journal.com/content/6/1/3Genetic Vaccines and Therapy 2008;6():3-3.Published online 21 Jan 2008PMCID:PMC2267464.
