(A) FACS histograms showing the expression of CD11c in 7 days culture BMDCs. (B) SPDCs were lysed and lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting for detection of expression of SWAP-70. The constitutively expressed nuclear protein SMC3 8 was used as control. (C) FACS histogram of intracellular SWAP-70 in 7 days cultured BMDCs. Grey peaks in FACS histograms correspond to isotype controls. Representative data of three independent experiments are shown.

(A) FACS histograms showing intracellular levels of MHCII, CD80 and CD86 of CD11cc BMDCs. The values on the histograms are the percentage of MHCII-, CD80- and CD86high cells. Grey peaks correspond to isotype controls. Representative data of three independent experiments are shown. (B) Analysis of li. CD11c+ BMDCs were lysed at different time points after LPS treatment and proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by Western blotting. Membranes were probed with mAb Ii (CD74). (C) Immunoprecipitation of MHCII from BMDCs lysates that were or were not activated with LPS for 8 h followed by ubiquitin western blotting. Representative data of two independent experiments are shown. (D) Untreated and LPS-treated (6h) BMDCs were lysed and subjected to sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. Proteins of fractions 3–8 (0.4 ml each; pellet not included), which contain raft preparations and soluble protein, were resolved by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by western blotting. Membranes were probed with mAb Y-3P for localization of MHCII or cholera toxin subunit B for the lipid raft marker GM1.

(A) Transfection efficiency of SWAP-70−/− CD11c+ BMDCs cultures with a retroviral vector bearing SWAP-70-IRES-GFP (lower panel). As control cells were treated without any vector (upper panel). (B) FACS histograms showing the expression of surface MHC II in immature and LPS-mature CD11c+ BMDCs transfected with SWAP-70-IRES-GFP (SWAP-70-GFP) or IRES-GFP (empty vector) by retroviral infection. As control, cells were mock-treated (treated like in infection but without virus). The values on the histograms are the percentage of MHCIIhigh cells. Representative data of three independent experiments are shown.

-
CFSE-labeled mature CD11c+ BMDCs were injected i.v. into wt mice, and spleens were collected 24 h thereafter. The number of CFSE-loaded BMDCs per spleen was determined by FACS analysis of cell suspensions after collagenase treatment of spleens. Results are expressed as average number of CFSE-loaded DC from the spleens of two mice. Representative data of three independent experiments are shown.

-
Cells were treated with cytochalasin D for 1 h previous stimulation of LPS. *P<0.001.

-
CD11c+ BMDCs were treated with exoenzyme C3 before or during LPS treatment, or left untreated. The percentage of the CD11c+MHCIIhigh BMDCs population is shown with ± SD. *P< 0.001. Representative data of three independent experiments are shown.
