Fig 3. In vitro stimulation with IFN-γ induces AIM2 mRNA expression in B-cells.

Adult (A, B and E) and cord (C and D) B-cells were collected after 24 hours of culture with IFN-γ (A and C), α-IgG, A and M + CD40L (B and D), poly dA:dT (E) or lipofectamine (control) (A-E), and assessed for AIM2 mRNA expression (A-D) or AIM2 protein expression (E). Data is expressed as the mean expression +SEM from 3–9 individuals. Statistics were calculated using Students paired t-test; * = p<0.05; ** = p<0.01.
