Article Title: Enhanced ROS Production and Mitochondrial Metabolic Shifts in CD4 + T Cells of an Autoimmune Uveitis Model
doi: 10.3390/ijms252111513
Figure Lengend Snippet: CD4 + T cells from ERU cases produced higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after stimulation with pokeweed mitogen (PWM). Bar graphs display the factor of ROS production in CD4 + T cells from healthy horses (Ctr, gray, n = 6) and equine recurrent uveitis cases (ERU, red, n = 5) after 90 min of stimulation with PWM. The mean value is shown as a factor and the error bars correspond to the standard deviation. The factor of ROS production in control cells was determined at 3.6, while ERU cases exhibited a factor of 6.1. To compare the factor of ROS production between CD4 + T cells from ERU cases and healthy control cells, Student’s t -test was used (* p = 0.023).
Article Snippet: The purity of the CD4 + T cell fraction was tested via flow cytometry after staining of 2 × 10 5 cells of each fraction with 30 μL mouse anti-horse CD4 FITC labeled antibody (clone MCA1078F, Biorad, Feldkirchen, Germany, 1:10), which resulted in a mean purity of 98% ± 1.7% SD. ( ).
