Figure Lengend Snippet: Th40 cell comparison in CD and HC. PBMC analyzed for CD3, CD4 and CD40 (Th40 cells). (A) Healthy controls and (B) Canine Diabetes were analyzed by dot plots to establish forward versus side scatter. Within the FSC x SSC population CD3+ cells are determined above background controls (grey solid histogram). Within the gated CD3+ population, contour plots of CD4 versus CD40 were determined. Th40 cells are defined as CD3+ then CD4+CD40+/total CD4+ cells (Q2/Q2 + Q3). (C) Th40 percentage in CD dogs compared to HC dogs. Statistics were done using Graph Pad Prism using a two-tailed, unpaired t-test analysis.
Article Snippet: Staining antibodies included: anti-CD3 (FITC) from Bio-Rad, cat# MCA1774F; anti-CD4 (APC) from Bio-Rad, cat#MCA1038APC; anti-CD40 (G28-5; Alexafluor 405) produced in house; there is no canine anti-CD40 antibody available so the G28-5 anti-CD40 that recognizes human CD40 was used.
Techniques: Comparison, Two Tailed Test
