B6.SLE CD4⁺ T cells are sufficient to accelerate atherosclerosis. (A) Study design. (B) dsDNA titres from donor mice (pretransfer) and recipient mice at the time of sacrifice. (C) Total number of cells in the spleens of recipient mice. (D) The total number of CD4 T cells recovered from the spleens of recipient mice. (E) Representative images of Oil Red O stained sections of the aortic root (left) and quantification of the total lesion area based on the Oil Red O staining (right). Data are representative of n=7–15 mice per group. ***Significant at p<0.001. SLE, systemic lupus erythematosus.
