Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 4. Induction of CCL18 in immature DC by VitD3. A, DC (106/ ml) were incubated in medium alone (control) or in the presence of VitD3 (107 M) for 4 h and then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/ml) for 48 h. Supernatants were tested by ELISA. Results are the average determinations (SD) of three to seven independent experiments. The average (100%) CCL18 (by immature DC) and CCL20 (by mature DC) productions were 366 55 and 1.8 0.6 ng/106 DC, respectively. B, Total RNA was isolated from immature DC and mature DC that had been stimulated with LPS or CD40L for 48 h. The expression of VitD3 receptor (VD3R) mRNA was analyzed by RT-PCR as described in Materials and Methods. , p 0.01 vs control (); #, p 0.05 vs LPS.
