Figure 2From: The 30-kDa and 38-kDa antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis induce partial maturation of human dendritic cells shifting CD4+ T cell responses towards IL-4 productionMtb antigens lead to moderate cytokine production of DCs. DCs were generated from peripheral blood monocytes of healthy donors and at day 5 of culture stimulated with 10 μg of the indicated Mtb antigens or LPS or left untreated in buffer as a control for 24 h. The indicated cytokines were detected from the cell supernatants. The two experiments shown were performed from two different donors and show high inter-individual variations. They are representative of 5 independent experiments. Error bars represent the SEM of duplicate samples from the ELISA.Back to article page
