Fig. 5. Transfer of PCs into an immunodeficient mouse model expressing hIL-6 improves PCs engraftment.

Fig. 5

a Schematic describing the transfer of ex vivo-derived PCs into B-NDG (control; n = 7 animals from two independent experiments) and hIL-6-B-NDG knock-in (hIL-6; n = 8 animals from two independent experiments) mice. It was partially created with BioRender.com. bd Firefly luciferase was quantified by IVIS imaging (normalized by Min-max normalization), hIgG and hIgM were quantified by ELISA and each point was plotted individually. The shadow represents the 95% confidence interval and the line represents the mean. P values were calculated in an unpaired two-sided t-test by comparing the area under curve (AUC) from individual mice. P values for normalized flux AUC and IgG AUC are 1.46E-05 and 1.37E-05, respectively. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. e, f Representative (e) and quantified (f) flow cytometry of BM cells from sacrificed mice using the indicated antibodies (control; n = 7 animals from two independent experiments) and hIL-6-B-NDG knock-in (hIL-6; n = 8 animals from two independent experiments). Data were presented as mean ± SD. P values were calculated using an unpaired one-sided t-test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. g The relationship between hIgG antibody concentration and hIgG PCs counts in B-NDG mice and hIL-6-B-NDG mice. The correlation between them is presented by the Pearson correlation coefficient based on their quasi-linear relationship and assumption of normality of variables. The line indicates the mean at each time point, and the shadow shows the 95% confidence intervals. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
