Frequency of leukocyte subpopulations in spleen
-
Frequency of leukocyte subpopulations in spleen by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were isolated from wild-type C57BL/6 mice and homozygous B-hPSGL-1 mice (n=3, 7-week-old). A. Flow cytometry analysis of the splenocytes was performed to assess the frequency of leukocyte subpopulations. B. Frequency of T cell subpopulations. Percentages of T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and Tregs in B-hPSGL-1 mice were similar to those in C57BL/6 mice, demonstrating that humanization of PSGL-1 does not change the frequency or distribution of these cell types in spleen. The frequency of leukocyte subpopulations in lymph nodes and blood of B-hPSGL-1 mice were also comparable to wild-type C57BL/6 mice (Data not shown). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. Significance was determined by two-way ANOVA test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
