Fig 10. Cxcr4 expressing erythroid progenitors seem to migrate from the bone marrow to the spleen following a Cxcl12 gradient in immunized and nephritic mice.

Spleens (A, B) and bone marrow (C, D,) of healthy (black bars, n = 3), immunized (lined bars, n = 4) and nephritic mice on day 7 (grey bars, n = 4) were evaluated for Ter119⁺Cxcr4⁺ cells by performing relative flow cytometry. The expression of Cxcl12 mRNA was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR of total RNA from spleens and bone marrow of healthy, immunized and nephritic mice on day 7 (E). Data are given as means ± SEM. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001.
