Morphology and ontogeny of dendritic cells in rats at different development periods

Figure 4 Flow cytometric analyses of OX62⁺CD4⁺SIRP⁺ and OX62⁺CD4^-SIRP^- PP DCs in vivo at 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 wk postpartum. The results were presented as mean ± SD from 5 rats. A: Significant growth occurred in different age groups for the number of OX62⁺DCs; B: Levels of OX62⁺CD4⁺OX41⁺DC subsets increased significantly at 3-5 wk postpartum and 7-9 wk postpartum; C: OX62⁺CD4^-SIRP^-DC levels declined on the whole, with small fluctuation from 7 to 9 wk postpartum.
