DC chemokine response to bacterial infection.

BMDCs were obtained from B6 mice (or Balb/c mice for CXCL11 analyses), propagated by culture in GM-CSF, and infected with rLM-OVA at MOI 1 as described in Methods. At 4 hours after L. monocytogenes or mock infection, BFA was added to cultures for an additional 5 hours, followed by quantitation of chemokine expression by uninfected versus infected DCs. Histograms are gated on CD11c+ BMDCs and display chemokine expression by uninfected (gray solid) and infected (black tracing) cells. Solid vertical markers demarcate chemokine-expressing from nonexpressing cells, dashed markers for CCL6, CCL9/10, and CXCL16 distinguish chemokine++ and chemokine+/– cells. Numbers indicate the percentage of chemokine-positive DCs in the absence (gray) or presence (black) of infection; values are the average of duplicate experimental samples. Data are representative for 1 of 4 similar experiments. Similar results were obtained after 24 hours of rLM-OVA infection and prevention of cell death by addition of antibiotics after initial establishment of infection (not shown).
