Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. Expression of CCR9 on pDCs in MRL/MpJ mice treated with repeated injections of poly(I:C). MRL/MpJ mice were treated with or without poly(I:C), as indicated in Figure 3. After sacrifice at 3 hours following the final set of injections, pancreases were removed and analyzed as indicated. (A) Flow cytometric analysis of cell membrane expression of CCR2, CCR7, and CCR9 on pDCs in pancreatic mononuclear cells extracted from MRL/MpJ mice treated with 16 doses of poly(I:C). Analysis gate was set on PDCA-1+B220lo pDCs. Black curve: control Ab. Red curve: CCR2, CCR7, and CCR9 Abs. Results shown are representative data from 3 mice. (B) Concentrations of CCL2, CCL21, and CCL25 in protein extracts of pancreatic tissues obtained from untreated mice (No Tx, n = 10) or mice treated with 16 injections of poly(I:C) (n = 10), as determined by ELISA. Each dot represents the value derived from 1 mouse. Statis- tical analyses were performed using an unpaired, 2-tailed Student’s t test. Results shown are combined data of 2 independent experiments (B). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. **P < 0.01.
