Figure Lengend Snippet: SpiB suppresses PC differentiation independently of Bach2. (A) Expression of intracellular SpiB and cell-surface CD138 in SpiB WT, Blimp1-KO, Bach2-KO and Blimp1/Bach2 DKO iGB-4 cells analyzed by FCM. (B) mRNA expression of SpiB , Bach2 , and Prdm1 in SpiB WT and SpiB cKO iGB-4 cells analyzed by qRT-PCR. (C) FCM analysis of CD138 expression on Bach2-KO iGB-4 (left) and iGB-21 (right) cells transduced with mock-, Bach2-, SpiB-expressing retroviral vectors. (D) qRT-PCR analysis for mRNA expression of SpiB , Bach2 , and Prdm1 in IgG1 + GC B and B mem cells from spleens of SpiB WT and SpiB cKO mice immunized with NP-CGG in alum 14 days earlier. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: Intracellular SpiB staining was performed with FoxP3 Staining Buffer Set according to the manufacturer’s protocol (eBioscience) with anti-SpiB sheep polyclonal antibody (R&D systems, AF7204) followed by Alexa 647-labeled donkey anti-sheep IgG (Invitrogen, A-21448).
