Figure 4From: The inhibitory receptor LILRB4 (ILT3) modulates antigen presenting cell phenotype and, along with LILRB2 (ILT4), is upregulated in response to Salmonella infectionSalmonella typhimurium upregulates expression of LILRB2 and LILRB4 on in vitro -cultured macrophages. Real-time PCR was used to assess the expression of LILRB2 and LILRB4 mRNA in monocyte-derived macrophages treated with either live or heat-killed GFP+ S. typhimurium. Salmonella infection was confirmed by flow cytometic detection of GFP (data not shown). p-values were calculated using a two-tailed Wilcoxon rank test, using a 95% confidence level on Prism Software (GraphPad, USA).Back to article page
