Fig 2. Effects of 6 Gy of TBI on T cell pool.

Fig 2

Three male LEW.1AR2 rats were irradiated with 6 Gy of TBI. Analysis was performed on day 3 after TBI. Control animals of identical strain, gender and age did not receive any treatment (ctrl). After counting vital mononuclear cells per μl blood as well as per spleen, analyses were performed by flow cytometry. T cells with α/β TCR expression (R73+) were divided into CD8+ and CD8-. Propidium-iodid counter-staining was used to exclude avital cells. (A) Mean values of absolute numbers of α/β TCR+ cells in peripheral blood. (B) Absolute numbers of vital α/β TCR+ cells in spleen subdivided according to CD8 expression as mean values.
