Figure 5. Immunohistochemical evaluation of the arteries from mice after CD4⁺ T cell repopulation and DOCA- salt hypertension.

A. CD4⁺ cells and quantification in the perivascular adventitia (PVA) of mesenteric artery. B. p-Akt+ cells and quantification in the PVA of mesenteric artery. C. Apoptag⁺ cells and quantification in the PVA of mesenteric artery. Black bars show Axl^+/+. Open bars – PBS → Rag1^−/− mice. Dark grey bars – Axl^+/+ CD4⁺ → Rag1^−/− mice. Light grey bars – Axl^−/− CD4⁺ → Rag1^−/− mice. Values are mean±SEM. *, p<0.05 vs. Axl^+/+. †, p<0.05 vs. PBS → Rag1^−/− mice. ‡, p<0.05 vs. Axl^+/+ CD4⁺ → Rag1^−/− mice. n=3 per each group.
