Comparison of cytokine production in DCs matured in the presence of synthetic peptides. iDCs were stimulated with synthetic peptides for 48 h and each supernatant was applied to Bio-Plex Pro human cytokine multiplex assay plates. Ctrl; not treated iDC, CSP; synthetic circumsporozoite protein treated iDC, MSP-1; synthetic merozoite surface protein-1 treated iDC, AMA-1; synthetic apical membrane antigen-1 treated iDC, sS100A8; synthetic S100A8 treated iDC. Expression level of a IL-1β, b IL-2, c IL-10, d IL-12p70, e TNF-α, and f IFN-γ in matured DC by several synthetic peptides. Data were compared using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison tests. The experiment was performed in duplicate (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)
