Figure 5. Treg depletion does not induce disease in RRV-infected Ig-α -/- mice.
(A) Successful depletion of Tregs in Ig-α -/- mice. PC61 (anti-CD25 depleting antibody) was administered to RRV-infected mice on day of life 4. Representative dot plots show PC61 Treg depletion. (B) Serum direct bilirubin (mean ±SD). *P<.001 vs. Ig-α-/- RRV+ PC61 and Ig-α-/- RRV+ rat serum. (C) Liver immune cell profile. Mice were sacrificed at 2 weeks of age and immune cells were identified based on CD45 expression.
