(A) Representative histogram of CD1d expression on DP thymocytes. CD1d was stained with α-CD1d or isotype control antibody (n = 8).
(B) IL-2 detected by ELISA following 48-h co-culture of iNKT cell hybridoma DN32.D3 with irradiated thymocytes pulsed with α-GalCer ranging from 200 ng/mL to 12.5 ng/mL. Data representative of three independent experiments.
(C) Flow cytometric analysis of iNKT cells in the Jα18−/− recipient mice after 6 weeks of reconstitution with 1:1 mixture of bone marrow cells from WT (CD45.1) and T-Mettl14−/− (CD45.2).
(D) Quantification of iNKT cell reconstitution in thymus, spleen, and liver in bone marrow chimera recipients (n = 7). SEM is shown. ***p < 0.001.
