Characterization of rat Dex. To examine the composition of Dex, DCs were generated from the bone marrow precursors of ongoing EAMG rats (n = 40). Then, Dex were isolated from the culture medium of statin-BMDCs and control-BMDCs by differential centrifugation and characterized by electron microscopy (a), flow cytometry (b), and western blotting (c) (***p < 0.001)
