(D-E) WT and Irf3‑/‑Irf7‑/‑ BMDCs were mixed at different ratios for a total number of 2x105 cells/cm2 and stimulated with poly(I:C) or left unstimulated. (D) Representative dot plots showing CD86 and CD40 expression on WT (blue dots) and Irf3‑/‑Irf7‑/‑ (orange dots) BMDCs. (E) Flow cytometric quantification of CD86 and CD40 expression on WT (blue dots) and Irf3‑/‑Irf7‑/‑ (orange dots) BMDCs expressed as a fold change in gMFI over unstimulated controls.
