From: Increased expression of CD25, CD83, and CD86, and secretion of IL-12, IL-23, and IL-10 by human dendritic cells incubated in the presence of Toll-like receptor 2 ligands and Giardia duodenalis

Figure 1

TLR2 ligands but not LPS augment the secretion of IL-12 cytokines by human DCs incubated in the presence of G. duodenalis . Immature DCs were incubated with (A) LPS (1 μg/ml), (B) Pam3CSK4 (100 ng/ml), or (C) Pam2CSK4 (100 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of G. duodenalis lysate (equivalent to five trophozoites/cell). Two days later, cell-free supernatants were collected, stored at -80°C, and the cytokine concentrations determined by ELISA. Median plus 25% and 75% percentiles for cells from ten donors. Dotted horizontal lines indicate the level of detection of the ELISA assays (5 pg/ml).
