CSE induces DC maturation during short-term stimulation. Representative histograms (left panel) showing the expression of the cell surface DC maturation markers CD11c, MHCII and CD83. Bar graphs (right panel) represent expression of CD11c-MHCII and co-stimulatory molecules CD86, CD40 as percentage of positive DCs. BMDCs were cultured with (a) CSE (0.05–1.5 %) or LPS (0.01–1 μg/ml, as a positive control) for 18 h, (b) CSE (1.5 %) or LPS (1 μg) for final 24 h and (c) CSE (1.5 %) for 10 days of culture period. Data represent mean ± S.E.M. *P < 0.05 significantly different compared to control, ^ P < 0.05 significantly different compared to LPS 24 h (n = 7)
