Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic representation of B cell lymphopoiesis and markers that define stages of B cell development. (B, C) Representative contour plots (B) and frequency (C) of bone marrow B220 + CD19 - CD43 + CD93 + cells in C57BL/6 mice with IC injection of PBS or E0771 cells at day 17. (D, E) Representative contour plots (D) and frequency (E) of bone marrow B220 + CD19 + CD43 + CD93 + IgM - pro-B/large pre-B cells in mice described in (B). (F-I) Representative contour plots (F) and frequency of bone marrow B220 + CD19 + CD43 - IgM - IgD - small pre-B cells (G), B220 + CD19 + CD43 - IgM + IgD - immature B cells (H), and B220 + CD19 + CD43 - IgM + IgD + mature B cells (I) in mice described in (B). (J-O) Absolute numbers of B220 + CD19 + B cells (J) and frequency of bone marrow B cell subsets (K-O) in C57BL/6 mice with IC injection of PBS or E0771 cells at day 7. (P, Q) Representative pictures (P) of colony formation unit (CFU) assay of pre-B cells and quantification of CFUs (Q) from bone marrow of mice described in (B). (R) Frequency of bone marrow B cell subsets from bone marrow of mice described in (B) cultured with IL-7 for 3 days, relative to day 0. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test (C, E, G-O, Q, R). Data are represented as means ± SEM. Each dot represents a mouse in (C, E, G-O, Q, R). ∗p ≤ 0.05, ∗∗p ≤ 0.01, ∗∗∗p ≤ 0.001, ∗∗∗∗p ≤ 0.0001.

doi: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2026.102702

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cellular immune responses elicited by H5 Texas Mut mRNA-LNP (SM102) in mice (A–C) The number of splenocytes secreting IFN-γ (a), TNF-α (b), and IL-2 (c) was detected by ELISpot. (D–F) The percentage of CD4 + T cells secreting IFN-γ (D), TNF-α (E), and IL-2 (F) was quantified by flow cytometry. (G–I) The percentage of CD8 + T cells secreting IFN-γ (G), TNF-α (H), and IL-2 (I) was quantified by flow cytometry. (J) IgG1 and IgG2a subclass Abs against Texas HA were determined, and the ratio of IgG2a/IgG1 was calculated. Data are presented as the mean ± SD, and n = 8 biological replicates for each group (A–J). p values are analyzed with t test (ns p > 0.05, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001) (A–J).
