Figure 1From: Comparative analysis of circulating dendritic cell subsets in patients with atopic diseases and sarcoidosisFlow cytometric analysis of dendritic cell (DC) population from whole blood. After gating mononucleolar cells based on side scatter (SSC) and forward scatter (FSC) (A), blood DC population was identified as the lineage-/ HLA-DR+ fraction (B). DCs were divided into a CD11c+ DC subset (mDC) and a CD123+ DC subset (pDC) (C). mDCs (CD11c+DCs or CD123-DCs) were divided into the further subgroups based on the expression of CD1a (D) and CD141 (E). The results presented (D) and (E) are representative of the each group.Back to article page
