Figure 3From: Variability in the response of canine and human dendritic cells stimulated with Brucella canis Morphologic changes in DCs after stimulation with B. canis or its purified LPS. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of human or canine DCs stimulated for 24 h with live B. canis or it purified LPS. Human B. canis-stimulated DCs (A) developed numerous long projections and their cell size was at least five times greater than non-stimulated DCs (D). LPS-stimulated DCs (B, C) also increased cell size and developed projection in a less intense manner. Canine stimulated DCs (E–G) also showed increased cell size and developed projections. Non-stimulated human (D) and canine (H) DCs were round shaped with short projections.Back to article page
