Fig 1. Lymphocyte proliferation analysis in the splenocytes.

Fig 1

CD3+CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation rate was significantly high in SS mice (Group 2) compared to the control group (Group 1) (p<0.001). The intraperitoneally injected DFMSCs (Group 3a) significantly decreased CD3+CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation rate compared to Group 2 (p<0.01). Submandibular and lacrimal injections of DFMSCs tended to decrease the lymphoproliferative responses of CD3+CD4+ T lymphocytes compared to Group 2, but no significant difference was observed (p>0.05). CD19+ B lymphocyte proliferation rate was significantly high in SS mice (Group 2) compared to the control group (Group 1) (p<0.001). The intraperitoneal injection of DFMSCs (Group 3a) significantly decreased CD19+ B lymphocyte proliferation rate compared to Group 2 (p<0.01). Submandibular and lacrimal injections of DFMSCs did not significantly change the lymphoproliferative responses of CD19+ B lymphocytes compared to Group 2 (p>0.05).
