Figure Lengend Snippet: A Experimental workflow for the treatment of wild-type (WT) and JAK2 mutant (PV) mice with an anti-IgG1 control (IgG1) or an anti-CD47 antibody. One million ubiquitin-GFP ( UBC-GFP )-positive WT bone marrow (BM) cells were mixed with one million BM cells extracted from PV mice and transplanted into lethally irradiated WT recipients. Antibody treatment was performed 3 times a week for 2 or 4 weeks. Mice were sacrificed and analyzed after that. B Hemoglobin, platelet, and neutrophil counts (WT IgG1, n = 9; WT anti-CD47, n = 9; PV IgG1, n = 24; PV anti-CD47, n = 25) and ( C ) spleen weight (WT IgG1, n = 4; WT anti-CD47, n = 4; PV IgG1, n = 15; PV anti-CD47, n = 15) determined after 2 weeks of treatment. Gray shaded area indicates the normal range. D Blood counts and ( E ) spleen weight after 4 weeks of treatment. WT IgG1, n = 10; WT anti-CD47, n = 10; PV IgG1, n = 14; PV anti-CD47, n = 14. WT blue symbols, PV red symbols. Results are represented as mean ± standard deviation. ns not significant, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 (Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons for B (hemoglobin and platelet counts), C , D (platelet counts), and E ; two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test for B (neutrophil counts), and D (hemoglobin and neutrophil counts).
Article Snippet: Six days after biotin injection, mice were treated intraperitoneally 3 times a week for 2 weeks with an anti-mouse CD47 mAb (clone MIAP410; BioXCell) or a mouse IgG1 isotype control (clone MOPC-21; BioXCell) at a dose of 200 μg/mouse.
