Fig 5. SAA does not reduce dendritic cells or lymphocytes in the spleen after 6 weeks of WTD.

A) Flow cytometry gating for spleen T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells. All cell subsets were defined as live CD45⁺ and further analyzed for T cells, defined as CD19⁻CD3⁺, B cells, defined as CD3⁻CD19⁺, and dendritic cells, defined as CD11c⁺MHCII⁺. B) T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells in the spleen in Ldlr^−/− and Saa^−/−Ldlr^−/− mice fed WTD for 6 weeks as a percent of live CD45⁺ cells. The data is expressed as mean ± SEM with n = 6 Ldlr^−/− and 6 Saa^−/−Ldlr^−/− mice pooled from two independent experiments.
