Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of inhibitors of IKK (BMS-345541 (BMS)), NF-κB translocation (dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin (DHMEQ)) and RANK/RANK-L interaction (osteoprotegerin (OPG)), and glucocorticosteroid (methylprednisolone (MP)) administration on the number of IL-4- and IL-17-producing CD8 + T cells. The relative count ( A , D ) is expressed as a percentage of IL-4- or IL-17-producing cells within CD8 + T cells. The absolute count ( B , E ) represents the number of IL-4- or IL-17-producing CD8 + T cells per lung sample collected from individual mice. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Examples of dot plot cytograms showing the distribution of IL-4- or IL-17-producing and non-producing cells within CD8 + T cells ( C and F , respectively).
Article Snippet: Subsequently, the cells were stained for surface antigens with fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs): PerCP-Cy 5.5 rat anti-mouse CD4 (clone RM4-5, IgG2a, κ), APC-Cy7 rat anti-mouse CD8a (clone 53-6.7, IgG2a, κ) and PE-Cy7 rat anti-mouse CD25 (clone PC61, IgG1, λ; all from BD Biosciences).
