Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of TGF-β1 on CXCR4 expression on T cells. ( A ) CXCR4 expression on CD3⁺CD4 + and CD3⁺CD8 + T cells after being cultured with the medium containing TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL) with or without the TGF-βRI inhibitor SB431542 (5 µM) for 5 days. Mean ± SD ( n = 3). Plots are gated on lymphocyte > single cells > Live cells > CD3 + cells > CD4 + or CD8 + cells . ( B ) CXCR4 expression on CD3⁺CD4 + and CD3⁺CD8 + T cells after being cultured with NF-CM or CAF-CM for 5 days. Mean ± SD (Control, n = 3; NF-CM, n = 5; CAF-CM, n = 8). * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: In addition, cells were stained with the following directly fluorochrome-conjugated anti-canine antibodies: FITC-conjugated mouse anti-dog CD3 (clone CA17.2A12; Bio-Rad Laboratories), PE-conjugated anti-CD4 antibody (clone YKIX302.9, Bio-Rad Laboratories) and APC-conjugated rat anti-dog CD8 (clone YCATE 55.9; Thermo Fisher Scientific).
