T cell infiltration and subsets in MRL/lpr tissues. (A) Immunofluorescent staining for CD4 (green) and CD8 (red) T cell infiltration in choroid plexus (top) and salivary gland (bottom), magnification = 20X. (B) Percentage of CD4+ T cells (left), CD8+ T cells (center), and double negative T cells (right) in MRL/lpr tissues by flow cytometry; CP, choroid plexus; Gland, salivary gland; LN, lymph node. Values represent percentages of parent CD3+ T cells. (C) Sample clonality of MRL/lpr spleen (n = 9), salivary gland (n = 4), and choroid plexus tissues (n = 9). (D) Normalized number of unique productive clones in MRL/lpr tissue repertoires calculated by dividing the total number of unique productive clones to the amount of DNA analyzed. (E) Sum of the top 10 productive rearrangement frequencies. P-values were determined with one-way ANOVAs, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
