Fig. 5From: Plasmodium manipulates the expression of host long non-coding RNA during red blood cell intracellular infectionCharacteristics of the subsets of DCs during P.y17XL infection. Double staining with FITC-anti-CD11c, PE-anti-CD11b and PerCP-anti-CD45RO/B220 was used to detect the proportion, absolute cell numbers (column diagram, left) and representative dot plots (right) of mDCs (a–c) and pDCs (d–f) via flow cytometry in BALB/c mice. Results are shown as the mean of five mice per group ± SEM. Asterisks indicate significant difference at *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 vs. control mice (non-infected mice, 0 days); hashtags indicate significant difference at #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 in mice at 3 and 5 days p.i. Abbreviations: d, Days; DCs, dendritic cells; mDCs, myeloid DCs; pDCs, plasmacytoid DCs, p.i., post inoculation; SEM, standard error of the meanBack to article page
