Cytokine secretion by MoDCs initially activated with GM-CSF plus TNF-α plus IFN-α plus PGE2 (GM+T+N+P), CD40L1 plus IFN-γ, or CD40L3 plus IFN-γ (protocols as in the legend to Figure 1). Twenty-four hours after activation, DCs were washed twice and resuspended in RPMI/FCS. The indicated activation stimuli (no cytokines or live E coli [20 μL/mL]) were added either immediately (*) or following a 24-hour rest period in medium without cytokines (†). Mean values ± SEM of 4 experiments are shown.
