Protein expression analysis

Strain specific LILRB1 expression analysis in transgenic B-Tg(hLILRB1/hLILRB4) mice by flow cytometry. T cells and B cells of blood were collected from wild-type (+/+) and transgenic B-Tg(hLILRB1/hLILRB4) mice (Tg), and analyzed by flow cytometry with species-specific anti-human LILRB4 antibody. Human LILRB1 was both detectable in T cells and B cells from B-Tg(hLILRB1/hLILRB4) mice but not wild-type mice.

Immune Cell Profiles

Immune Cell Profiles in Spleen

 

Analysis of spleen leukocyte subpopulations by FACS. Splenocytes were isolated from female C57BL/6 and B-Tg(hLILRB1/hLILRB4) mice (n=3, 8-week-old). Flow cytometry analysis of the splenocytes was performed to assess leukocyte subpopulations. A. Representative FACS plots. Single live cells were gated for the CD45+ population and used for further analysis as indicated here. B. Results of FACS analysis. Percent of T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages in B-Tg(hLILRB1/hLILRB4) mice were similar to those in the C57BL/6 mice, demonstrating that LILRB1 and LILRB4 humanized does not change the overall development, differentiation or distribution of these cell types in spleen. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
