  1. Table 1 shows the composition of cocktails combined by TLR-agonists and cytokines. TLR agonists were peptidoglycan (TLR2), Poly I:C (TLR3), LPS (TLR4/CD14/MD2), R848 (TLR7/8) and cytokines IFNγ, TNFα, IL-1β, IFNα. Secreted cytokines and chemokines were determined by combination of conditioned media for treatment of immature DCs from four different donors in order to obtain information for a general response and reduce single donor-variations. Signal intensities were semi-quantitatively calculated using the ImageJ software, and the fold of induction compared to untreated cells. Induced cytokines and chemokines were classified into weakly induced proteins (1-10 fold induced vs untreated), modestly induced proteins (10-100 fold induced vs untreated controls), and strongly induced proteins (more than 100 fold vs untreated controls).
