DCs activation after treatment with ADO receptor antagonist in mice infested with ticks. BALB/c mice (n = 6/group) were three times tick-infested and treated daily, throughout all infestations with a non-selective antagonist of ADO (8-pSPT, 20 mg/kg ip) or saline. Mice were killed on the 3rd and 7th day (3D and 7D) of the third infestation and their lymph nodes were harvested. Cells were labelled with the indicated antibody and analysed by flow cytometry. Data shown in a, b, c, d and e are presented as the mean percentage of CD11c + cells expressing CD80, CD40 or MHCII ± SEM from two independent experiments
