Lymphocytes were isolated from spleens of naïve DO11.10 Tg mice. Cells were stimulated in vitro with designated concentrations of Ags and analyzed by FACS.
Apoptosis was determined by co-staining with Annexin-V and 7-AAD.
Mean ± SD of three to four replicates are presented after 24 and 72 h of culture.
p-values for DO11.10 CD4+ T cells stimulated with OVA versus OVA-pσ1, pσ1, or OVA + pσ1 for 24 or 72 hours.
