Fig. 5From: Exosomes derived from statin-modified bone marrow dendritic cells increase thymus-derived natural regulatory T cells in experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravisExosomes increased the expression of CD40 in the thymus. There is no change in the expression of CD40 on cTEC among the three experimental groups (a). Both DMSO and statin-treated DC-derived exosomes had significantly increased CD40 expressions on mTEC (b) and tDCs (c) compared with the PBS treated control group (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01). Data were presented as mean ± SEM from two independent experiments (n = 5 in the control group; n = 6 in DMSO-Dex and statin-Dex groups). The significance of the differences was evaluated by ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni test as a post hoc testBack to article page
