Figure 9. Increased pathogenic T cells in SR-A−/− NOD mice treated with poly(I∶C).
(A) The number (percentage) of CD4+CD25+ T cells was higher in SR-A−/− NOD mice (6 weeks of age) treated with poly(I∶C) (n = 3) than in untreated SR-A−/− NOD mice (n = 7), suggesting that CD4+CD25+ T cells mainly comprised pathogenic T cells. mean ± SD. * p value = 0.0167. (B) The number (percentage) of CD4+Foxp3+ T cells in SR-A−/− NOD mice (6 weeks of age) treated with poly(I∶C) (n = 3) was similar to that in untreated SR-A−/− NOD mice (n = 7), mean ± SD. p value = 0.5167.
