MyD88-dependent AS manifestation and lymphocyte abnormalities in B6/lpr mice. (a) SLOs and SGs extracted from 24-week-old female Myd88+/+ and Myd88−/− B6/lpr mice. Representative spleen (left picture) and SMGs with SGALNs (right picture) for each genotype are shown. (b) Representative areas of H&E-stained sections of SGs from Myd88+/+ (left) and Myd88−/− (right) B6/lpr mice. Original magnification: ×20. (c) Pathological scores of SG sections evaluated from eight mice per genotype. Results are expressed as mean ± SD calculated from mean scores of four sections per animal. *p < 0.01. (d) Total number of CD3+, B220+, and CD3B220 cells collected from spleen (left graph) and SGALN (right graph) from Myd88+/+ and Myd88−/− B6/lpr mice was calculated using flow cytometry. Similar results were obtained from all four animals for each strain, therefore a representative result is shown. (e) Flow cytometric analysis of CD3+ T cells from spleen (upper) and SGALN (lower) of Myd88+/+ and Myd88−/− B6/lpr mice. Representative plots for CD4/CD8 expression from three separate experiments are shown.
