(K) Anaphylaxis as measured by survival of mice at the indicated times after intraperitoneal OVA injection (challenge), following four weekly doses of OVA+cholera toxin (CT). (L) OVA-specific IgG1 or (M) OVA-specific IgE levels in serum as measured by ELISA (n = 3, 4 mice per group, pool of three independent experiments). cDC1s were defined as Aqua − CD45.2 + CD45.1 − Lin − CD11c hi MHC-II hi CD103 + CD11b − and cDC2s were defined as Aqua − CD45.2 + CD45.1 − Lin − CD11c hi MHC-II hi CD103 +/− CD11b − . In graphs, the height of bars indicate mean, and error bars indicate SD. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for (C). P -values were calculated by one-way ANOVA in (D), or by two-way ANOVA in (F), (G), (L) and (M), and by unpaired t -test in (I). Statistical significance denoted as not significant (ns), *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
