SUSD4a expression by T cells isolated from peripheral blood. The expression of SUSD4a by CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells isolated from peripheral blood was tested by qPCR (a). Freshly purified (fresh) T cells expressed SUSD4a, but this expression was downregulated when the cells were stimulated (stim.). T cells isolated from the same donors, at the same time points, were also analysed for SUSD4a protein expression by western blot (b). Interestingly, SUSD4a protein was more than 2.5 fold upregulated in stimulated T cells. The data represents three donors ± SD and was analysed by Student’s T-test comparing fresh to stimulated. The symbols ns, and * stand for not significant, and p < 0.05
