PS-G affected T cell proliferation response. MD-DCs from five children with allergic asthma were pulsed with Der p, PS-G, or both for 24 h and cultured with autogenic naïve T cell. Autologous T-cell proliferation was measured after 3 days of co-culture with MD-DC. The stimulation index (SI) was calculated as a mean counts per minute (cpm) of stimulated wells divided by the mean cpm of control wells. Values are presented as the mean stimulation index for triplicate wells. Data are represented as the mean ± SE of five determinations. Statistical analysis focused on DCs with or without PS-G in the presence of Der p 1. *p < 0.05. (Cont = control)
