Extended Data Fig. 5. Cellular phenotypes in blood and spleen from kika mice, TLR7-deficient mice, mixed chimeras and Yaa mice.

Extended Data Fig. 5

(a) White blood cell (WBC) count in 18-wk old mice. (b, c) Flow cytometric plots and quantification. (b) Spleen T (CD3+):B (B220+) cell ratio from 12-wk old kika mice. (c) Age-associated B cells (ABC, B220+ CD21 CD23 CD19hi CD11c+) in blood from 18-wk-old kika mice. (d) Splenic marginal zone (MZ) B cells (CD19+ CD23 CD21+) in 12-wk kika mice. (e) Circulating T follicular cells (Tfo, CD4+ CXCR5+ PD1hi) and extrafollicular helper T cells (eTH, CD4+ CXCR5 PD1+ CXCR3+) in blood from 18-wk-old kika mice. (f) Plasmacytoid dendritic cellc (pDCs, CD3 CD19 MHCII+ CD11c+ CD11b- CD8 SiglecH+ BST2+) and pDC MFI of MHCII and SiglecH from 12-week-old kika mice. (g) Splenic germinal center B cells (GCB, CD19+ CD95+ BCL6+), ABC (B220+ CD21 CXCR5 CD19hi CD11c+), TFH (CD4+ CXCR5+ PD1hi), eTH (CD4+ CXCR5 PD1+ CXCR3+) and plasma cells (PC, CD138+ CD98+) from 24-wk TLR7-deficient mice. (h, i) Splenic cell subsets from mixed bone marrow chimeric mice containing a 1:1 ratio of control Tlr7+/+ CD45.1/Tlr7+/+ CD45.2 or Tlr7+/+ CD45.1/Tlr7kik/kik CD45.2 bone marrow (h) and 100% mixed bone marrow (i) of each genotype. Subsets shown are CD4 effector (CD4+ FoxP3 CD44+), MZ (CD19+ CD23 CD21+), Treg (CD4+ FoxP3+) and CD45.1 to CD45.2 reconstitution ratio, 22-weeks post-reconstitution. (j) Autoantibodies to DNA and smRNP in serum from 100% chimeric mice model. (k) Splenic cell subsets from kika and Yaa mice. Bars represent medians and each dot a single mouse. These results are representative of one blood ADVIA analysis, two experiments for blood flow cytometry, four splenic phenotyping for kika mice and one for TLR7 deletion mice, and one experiment for chimera analysis. One-way ANOVA with Tukey (ag, k); Two-way ANOVA (h); Mann-Whitney (i); Unpaired t-test (j); Exact p values are shown.
