Figure 7From: Implication of scavenger receptors in the interactions between diesel exhaust particles and immature or mature dendritic cells SR ligands modulate DEP endocytosis. MDDC were preincubated for 15 min with 20 and 100 μg/ml dextran sulfate or maleylated ovalbumin and then, DEP (10 μg/ml) was added. After 6 h incubation, side scatter (SSC) of MDDC was analyzed by flow cytometry. Data are expressed as the difference between the SSC in DEP-stimulated and inactivated cells. The data reported the mean ± SEM from 5 independent experiments. ✻: p < 0.05 compared with cells with DEP alone (medium).Back to article page
