Fig. 2From: Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 ligand increases resistance to burn wound infection through effects on plasmacytoid dendritic cellspDCs are required for FL to prevent bacterial dissemination from the wound. Spleens and wounds were harvested 3 days following wound inoculation, homogenized and cultured for determination of bacterial counts. Numbers over the graphs represent the number of mice with positive tissue cultures of the total number examined. *significantly different from IgG + FL, p ≤0.05, n = 5 mice per groupBack to article page
