Figure 3.
Frequencies of leukocyte subsets in CD11c-TL1A transgenic (tg) mice and activation status of CD4 + T cells. (a) Representative (n = 5) flow cytometric plots of spleen cells from tg or wild-type (wt) mice demonstrating similar frequencies of CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, macrophages (CD11b +), dendritic cells (CD11c high), B cells (CD19 +), and natural killer (NK) cells (NK1.1 + CD3 −) in tg and wt mice. However, fewer invariant natural killer T (NKT) cells (NK1.1 + CD3 + or CD1d/α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer) tetramer +) were present in CD11c-TL1A tg mice. (b) Representative flow cytometric plots showing expression of activation/memory markers on peripheral CD4 + Foxp3 − cells from wt and tg mice (7–13-week-old mice; the data shown are representative of five mice per group).
