Figure 5. Characterization of rat medullary thymic epithelial cells 3: UEA-1 binding to mTEC subpopulations.

Figure 5

(A) A section of a thymus from a Lewis rat was stained with Alexa594-conjugated ED18 or ED21, Alexa647-conjugated anti-rat MHCII antibody, and biotin-conjugated UEA-1 followed by Alexa488-conjugated anti-biotin antibody. Pseudocolors were assigned using AxioVision software. (B) The low-density fraction from Lewis rat thymi was subjected to flow cytometric analysis. Cells were stained with Alexa488-conjugated control IgM or ED18/ED21, anti-rat CD45-PE, biotin-conjugated UEA-1 followed by streptavidin-PerCP-Cy5.5, and Alexa647-conjugated anti-rat MHCII.
