Retinoic acid treated human dendritic cells induce T regulatory cells via the expression of CD141 and GARP which is impaired with age

Figure 5. CD141hi DCs from aged subjects are impaired in their capacity to induce T regs. DCs from aged subjects were stimulated with RA and sorted into CD141hi, GARP+ (CD141hi) and CD141lo, GARP (CD141lo) populations. The 2 sorted DC subsets were then cultured with allogenic CD4 T cells. Bar graphs depict- (A) the percentage of CD4+CD25+CD127lo FoxP3+ T reg cells; (B) the level of IL-10 secretion; (C) IFN-γ secretion. Figures are mean +/− S.E. of 6 different experiments.
