FIGURE 4.
Nlrx1−/− mice suffer worse outcomes in response to encephalitogenic T cells. A, clinical scores of WT and Nlrx1−/− mice after transfer of encephalitogenic T cells. n = 9 mice/group. B, flow cytometric analysis of peripheral immune cell (CD45high) infiltration into spinal cord tissue at 16 dpi. Left panel, contour map depicting the selection of the CD45high cell population. Right panel, total number of CD45high cells per spinal cord. FS, forward scatter (103). n = 5 mice/group. C, analysis of T cell infiltrates into spinal cord tissue after encephalitogenic T cell transfer. Left panel, contour map depicting the selection of CD45high CD3+ cells. Right panel, total numbers of CD45high CD3+ cells in WT and Nlrx1−/− mice. n = 9 mice/group. Error bars represent mean ± S.E. *, p < 0.05.
