Oral/lingual CD11b+CD11c− cells exhibit a macrophage-like phenotype. (a) For immunohistology analysis, oral/lingual tissues from naive BALB/c mice were processed as described in the Methods section and stained with anti-CD206 and anti-CD11b antibodies (magnification × 100). (b) Coexpression of CD11b, CD206, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II) molecules using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analyses. (c) Expression of retinaldehyde dehydrogenase (RALDH)1 and RALDH2 in CD11b+CD11c−MHC-II+ cells purified from spleen, intestinal, or oral/lingual tissues. Data are representative of three independent experiments.
