The surface phenotype of thymic DCs.
(A) By means of 4-color analysis, DCs were gated as HLA-DRhigh(Cy5)CD11b− (Texas Red) and HLA-DRhigh/intCD11b+. (B) Both fractions were then analyzed by means of FITC and PE channels. Particular cases: CD86 and IL-3Rα expressions were revealed in Texas-Red after the gating was carried out with FITC-conjugated anti-CD11b antibody. This analysis is representative of 6 separate thymus samples.
