RE-CE mitigates IR-induced differentiation-related dysfunction of B cells and erythrocytes. Mice were sham-irradiated as control or irradiated with 4 Gy TBI after receiving the vehicle or RE-CE treatment as described in the Materials and Methods. B cells percentage (A) and CD71+Ter119+ immature erythrocyte percentage (B) in bone marrow (BM) were analyzed by FACS on the 14th day after exposure to TBI. A representative FACS analysis shows the B cells percentage (C) and CD71+Ter119+ immature erythrocyte percentage (D) in BM. RE-CE treatment increased the B cell percentage and decreased the CD71+Ter119+ immature erythrocyte percentage. The data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 5).
