  1. Sorted slanDCs, CD1+ DCs, and monocytes of eight healthy donors were stimulated in the absence (without) or presence of 30 ng/ml FTY or FTYP. Release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and expression of surface maturation/activation markers was then evaluated. Mean values of cytokines in picograms per millliliter or MFI of surface expression are presented, Bonferroni’s correction was used for multiple testing, and p values indicate level of statistical significance
  2. n.s. not significant
