Production of corticotropin-releasing factor and urocortin from human monocyte-derived dendritic cells is stimulated by commensal bacteria in intestine

Figure 1 Phenotypic characterization of dendritic cells. A: Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) were analyzed using flow cytometry for expression of the indicated antigens (n = 5). Unfilled histogram profiles indicate the isotype control, and solid histograms indicate the specific antibodies; B: Analysis of the mean fluorescence intensity of the indicated molecules expressed in MoDCs stimulated with commensal bacteria (n = 5). Unstimulated MoDCs were used as a control. The results are expressed as the mean ± SD. ^aP < 0.05.
