Article Title: NFATc1 regulates LAG3 + CD8 + T cells in the spleen of mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii NSM
doi: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0013605
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) RT-qPCR analysis of LAG3 mRNA levels in splenic immune cells from uninfected and infected mice. (B) Flow cytometric detection of LAG3 protein levels in splenic immune cells. (C) Violin plots showing LAG3 fluorescence intensity in splenic immune cells after Plasmodium infection. (D, E) Flow cytometry analysis of LAG3 distribution in splenic immune cells post-infection. (F) LAG3 mRNA levels in splenic CD8 + T cells (sorted by magnetic beads) from uninfected and infected mice, detected by RT-qPCR. (G) Dynamic changes in LAG3 protein expression in CD8 + T cells (detected by flow cytometry) in infected mice sacrificed every 4 days, with uninfected mice as controls. (H) spleen lymphocytes were isolated from uninfected mice and stimulated with lysates from 5-fold numbers of uRBC (5 × uRBC), 1-fold numbers of iRBC (1 × iRBC), 5-fold numbers of iRBC (5 × iRBC), or 10-fold numbers of iRBC (10 × iRBC), respectively, Anti-mouse CD28 monoclonal antibodies were plused, and LAG3 expression in CD8 + T cells was assessed by flow cytometry, 48 hours later. Each group included 4-6 mice, and experiments were repeated twice. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, ns : p > 0.05.
Article Snippet: Splenic lymphocytes were incubated with anti-mouse CD8a antibody-conjugated magnetic beads (Naive CD8a + T Cell Isolation Kit, Miltenyi Biotec) at 4°C for 30 minutes.
