Mobilization and splenic accumulation of CD11b+Gr1+ MDSCs are impaired in gp130Δhepa mice. (A) Representative flow cytometric analysis and (B) graphic analysis of CD11b+Gr1+ cell frequencies in bone marrow, peripheral blood, and spleens in gp130f/f and gp130Δhepa mice at the indicated time points after CLP (n = 5–12 per time point per group; pooled data of 12 independent experiments). #, gp130f/f did not survive to 7 and 10 d in sufficient numbers and could therefore not be included in the analysis. (C) Immunofluorescence staining of spleen sections for CD11b (red, CD11b; blue, DAPI) to show infiltration of myeloid cells after induction of sepsis. Spleens were explanted at the indicated time points. Bars, 100 µm. ***, P < 0.001. Data are presented as means ± SEM. n.d., not determined.
