Figure 3. Myco+ exosomes induce B cell activation and expansion.

Figure 3

Splenocytes were treated with 1 µg/ml of B16 myco+ exosomes or B16 myco− exosomes, or cultured untreated for 72 hr. Cells were harvested and analyzed by FACS. (A) Expression of CD25, CD40, CD86, CD80, CD23, IgD, IgM, CD1d, CD5 and CD43 in the B cell gate (CD19+B220+). (B) Percentage of B cells in total splenocytes within the live cell gate after exosome treatment. Data represents the mean ± SD of four independent experiments. Significance at: *, P<0.05. (C) Expression of CD25, CD69, CD44, CD62L, CD80 and CD86 in the CD4+ T cell gate and the CD8+ T cell gate. Black line: B16 myco+ exosome treatment; grey line: B16 myco− exosome treatment; grey solid: untreated.
