The comprehensive evidence of the impact of TNF-α and IL-1β stimulation on dendritic cell (DC) maturation, as demonstrated through quantitative analysis and flow cytometry. The data clearly show a significant upregulation of these molecules’ expression levels on both iDCs and mDCs following TNF-α and IL-1β stimulation, underscoring their crucial role in promoting DC maturation. The values presented are the mean ± SEM results obtained from three independent experiments. Significance levels are indicated as * for p < 0.05 and ** for p < 0.01
