Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 6 Immune cell populations and quantification of secreted immunoglobulins in RAG1 knockout chickens. Representative flow cytometry analysis of B and T cell subpopulations in the bursa (A), and thymus (B) of 3-week-old chickens. Statistical analysis was performed on Bu-1 and IgM positive cells in the bursa as well as CD4+ and CD8+ single-positive (SP) T cells, and the CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) T cell lymphocyte subpopulation in the thymus. Serum IgM, IgY, and IgA levels in 1-week (C) and 3-week (D) -old WT, RAG1+/-, and RAG1-/- chickens, as determined by ELISA. Each dot represents an individual chicken. The significance of differences among groups was assessed by one-way ANOVA; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, ns, no significance.
