Figure 5From: Fluticasone impact on airway dendritic cells in smokers: a randomized controlled trialT-cell proliferation in DC-T-cell co-cultures. Autologous peripheral blood CD4+T cells were cultured alone (first column) or co-cultured with blood mDCs (second to fifth column) at a 5:1 ratio for 5 days. LPS-stimulated co-cultures (third to fifth column) were incubated with medium alone (third column), Fluticasone (F; fourth column) or Fluticasone plus Salmeterol (F+S; fifth column). The graph shows the T-cell proliferation rate after 5 days of culture. Significant differences (p < 0.05) are marked.Back to article page
