Fig. 4. Characterization of CD1d expression and NKT cell numbers in B6.PwDchr3 consomic mice.

Fig. 4

(A) Comparison of CD1d expression among the B6.PWDchr3 consomic strain and the B6 and PWD parental strains. Representative thymocyte histograms are shown at left. Shaded histograms represent unstained controls, while open histograms represent anti-CD1d staining. The percent positive cells are indicated. Relative thymocyte and splenocyte CD1d fluorescence is shown at right. Relative CD1d fluorescence was calculated as specified in Materials and Methods. Data represent the mean relative fluorescence ± s.d., n = 3 – 4 mice per strain, *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001. (B) Representative FACS contour plots depicting the percentages of NKT cells in different organs are shown at left. The NKT cell population is circled, and the percentages are indicated. Cumulative percentages and numbers of NKT cells in the organs of different strains are shown at right. Data represent the means ± s.e.m., n = 5–7 mice per strain, *p ≤ 0.01, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001.
