DCs indicates dendritic cells; hDCs, human dendritic cells; SA, staphylococcus aureus; ABT-627, endothelin receptor A antagonist; and A-192621, endothelin receptor B antagonist. Data are presented as means ± SEM.

Statistically significant difference. In the case of CD40, between human DCs and hDCs + SA(P = .012); CD80, between human DCs and hDCs + SA(P = .015); CD83, between human DCs and hDCs + SA (P = .003), between hDCs + SA and hDCs + SA + ABT-627 (P < .001), and between hDCs + SA and hDCs + SA + A-192621 (P = .014); CD86, between human DCs and hDCs + SA (P < .001); and HLA-DR, between human DCs and hDCs + SA (P = .004).
