Identification of nude mice lacking T lymphocytes and ELISA detection of serum TNF-α concentration. (A) Morphological observation of BALB/c mice and BALB/c nude mice. (B) The anti-mouse CD3-PE antibody was used to identify T lymphocytes in splenocytes of BALB/c mice and nude mice. The cells in the right box were the CD3+ T lymphocytes. (C) The percentage of CD3+ T lymphocytes of the BALB/c mice and nude mice (n = 3/group, *P < 0.05, compared to BALB/c mice.) (D) Serum was collected 2 h after i.p. injection of PBS or LPS in BALB/c mice and nude mice, and the serum TNF-α concentration in each group was detected by ELISA. (n = 5/group, *P < 0.05, compared to PBS control mice; #P < 0.05, compared to endotoxemic mice).
Abbreviation: ns, no significance.
