SLE BMDCs cultured with FL alone (FLDCs) or GM - CSF + IL-4 (mDCs). Representative photographs of freshly isolated CD3^- BMCs (a) and May-Grunwald-Giemsa-stained cytospin preparations of immature FLDCs (b), immature mDCs (c), mature FLDCs (d), and mature mDCs (e). BMDCs, bone marrow-derived dendritic cells; CD3^- BMC, CD3^- bone marrow cells; FLDC, dendritic cells induced by FL; FL, FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand; GM-CSF, granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor; IL-4, interleukin 4; mDCs, myeloid dendritic cells.
