Irgm1 deficiency is associated with CD8+ T cell cytokine overproduction and increased apoptosis. (a-b) Splenocytes were isolated from WT and Irgm1−/− mice, stained and analyzed by flow cytometry for CD8+IFNγ+ (a) and CD8+Granzyme B+ (b). (c) CD8+ T cells were isolated and activated for 48 h with plate bound anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies after which the media was collected and IFNγ and Granzyme B were measured by ELISA. (d) Activated CD8+ T cells were assayed for the presence of apoptotic cells, measuring 7-AAD and annexin V positive cells by flow cytometry. (a,b) Data pooled from two independent experiments (n = 6–7), (c, d) data representative of two independent experiments (n = 3–4); error bars represent ± SEM. Mann Whitney test or T-test with Welch’s correction was used to compare groups depending on the normality of the distribution as judged by the Shapiro–Wilk test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
