Figure 7. Rasgrp1-deficient mice also lacking CD275/ICOSL do not develop PAP and have normal GM-CSF-specific autoantibody levels.
(a) Representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded lung sections from control (upper right, n=3), Rasgrp1-deficient (upper left, n=4), CD275-deficient (lower left, n=3), and Rasgrp1−/− CD275−/− (lower right, n=11) mice stained with H&E (scale bars, 50µm). (b) Concentrations of GM-CSF-specific IgG in the serum of aged control, Rasgrp1-deficient, CD275-deficient, and Rasgrp1−/− CD275−/− mice measured by ELISA. Symbols represent the mean concentration for individual mice (**p≤0.005, One way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test).
