Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Schematic illustration of MOG 35–55 and protein administration. Created in BioRender; Sun, Q. https://BioRender.com/j3crwdr (2026). b , c , Representative flow cytometry plots ( b ) and quantification of FOXP3 + and RORγt + FOXP3 + cell frequencies ( b ) and absolute numbers ( c ) among donor CD44 + Ki-67 + 2D2 cells in the indicated lymphoid organs ( n = 8 samples per group). d – h , Therapeutic effect of TGM1–IL-2 in establishing tolerance to suppress MOG 35–55 -induced EAE ( n = 11 mice per group). d , Schematic illustration. CNS, central nervous system; PTX, pertussis toxin; SC, spinal cord; CFA, complete Freund’s adjuvant. Created in BioRender; Sun, Q. https://BioRender.com/t3trkm2 (2026). e , Quantification of mean EAE scores. f , Quantification of CD4 + T cell absolute numbers in the spinal cord. g , Quantification of IFNγ- and IL-17A-producing CD4 + T cell numbers in the spinal cord. h , Representative flow cytometry plots and quantification of GM-CSF + CD4 + T cell frequencies and absolute numbers in the spinal cord. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. Data in b , c are pooled from two independent experiments. Data in d – h are representative of two independent experiments. Statistics were obtained by one-way ANOVA coupled with Dunnett’s multiple-comparisons test ( b , c ), two-way ANOVA coupled with Šídák’s multiple-comparisons test ( e ) or unpaired Welch’s t -test (two-tailed) ( f – h ).
Article Snippet: Beginning one day after transfer, mice received 40 μg MOG 35–55 peptide (Genemed Synthesis) together with 50 pmol of the indicated proteins by intraperitoneal injection every other day, for a total of six doses.
