Figure 2.

Blood pressure response of Rag-1^−/− females to 14 days of angiotensin II (ANG II) infusion (490 ng/kg/min) following adoptive transfer of normotensive T cells (NT) or hypertensive T cells (HT). No significant difference was seen in mean arterial blood pressure (ΔMAP; A), systolic blood pressure (ΔSBP; B), or diastolic blood pressure (ΔDBP; C) in premenopausal females following normotensive T cell transfer (NT + ANG) or hypertensive T cell transfer (HT + ANG) compared with the respective controls (NT and HT). The change (Δ) in blood pressure was calculated using the difference between the final ANG II day 14 and baseline blood pressure recording (baseline = following T cell adoptive transfer, before ANG II infusion); n = 5 in the control group and n = 6/7 in the experimental groups. No significant difference via two-way ANOVA was found. Rag-1, recombination-activating gene-1.
