Figure 5. The expression of CD40L on IL-21- expressing NKT cells PFMCs were stimulated for 6 hrs with or without PPD plus anti-CD28.
The cells were stained, gated on NKT cells and analyzed for the expression of CD40L on IL-21+ NKT cells. A. The expression of CD40L and production of IL-21 were detected by FACS. Data are representative of three independent experiments. B. Statistical results of the expression of CD40L on NKT cells. **, P < 0.01. C. Results of the expression of CD40L on IL-21+ and IL-21− NKT cells.
