Figure 5. The absolute number of CD4+FoxP3+ Treg cells in the spleens and LNs.

Figure 5

Both PC61 administration and irradiation reduced the number of CD4+FoxP3+ Treg cells in spleen, iLN and mLN. Irradiation resulted in a more rapid restoration of Treg cells after day 7. Data are shown as Mean±SD (n = 4). Two way ANOVA showed significant interactions over time between treatments in the Treg absolute numbers in spleen, iLN and mLN (all p<0.01). Differences between all pairs (PC61+sham irradiation vs Rat IgG+sham irradiation, PC61+irradiation vs PC61+sham irradiation, Rat IgG+sham irradiation compare to Rat IgG+irradiation, Rat IgG+sham irradiation compare to PC61+irradiation, PC61+sham irradiation compared to Rat IgG+irradiation and PC61+sham irradiation compared to PC61+irradiation treatment groups) of treatment group profiles over time were significant (p<0.05). All post hoc pairwise comparisons were performed with Tukey's multiple comparisons. This is one representative experiment of three performed.
