Proportions of iVα14 NKT cells among TCR β⁺NK1.1⁺ cells isolated from the thymus, spleen and liver of WT, B7-1/2 and CD28 deficient mice.

Abstract

<p>Total lymphocytes from the thymus (left), spleen (middle) and liver (right) of 8-week old WT (top), B7-1/2- (center) and CD28- (bottom) deficient mice were stained with TCRβ, NK1.1 and α-GalCer/CD1d tetramer. The numbers represent the percentage (Mean±SD, n = 9) of α-GalCer/CD1d⁺ cells in the TCR β⁺NK1.1⁺ population. One representative profile from each group is shown here. The numbers shown on the side of figures are <i>p</i> value between two indicated groups.</p
