Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 5. Neutrophil depletion with mAb 1A8 does not preserve vas- cular integrity as measured by 3D volumetric analysis of gadolinium en- hancement visible on T1-weighted MRI. Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MRI images showing the extent of vascular permeability in a representative 7-d TMEV-infected mock E7 peptide administered C57BL/6 mouse not undergoing PIFS (A). In (B)–(D), C57BL/6 mice undergoing PIFS were treated with NRS (B), RB6-8C5 (C), or 1A8 (D). (E)–(H) show 3D trans- parency rendering of gadolinium-enhancing areas generated in Analyze 10.0 (Biomedical Imaging Resource, Mayo Clinic) in the same animals. Red areas represent subvolumes with gadolinium enhancement. The intensity of red areas is influenced by the overall thickness of underlying gadolinium- enhancing volume and by distance from surface. (I) Quantification of the 3D volume of vascular permeability in each of the three treatment groups. Treatment with anti–GR-1 mAb RB6-8C5 (n = 5) significantly reduced vascular permeability as seen through decreased volumes of gadolinium enhancement when compared with treatment with NRS (n = 6) (p , 0.05) and treatment with anti–Ly-6G mAb 1A8 (n = 3; p , 0.05). Significance between groups was determined by an ANOVA followed by Dunn’s method of multiple comparison. Error bars indicate SEM.
Article Snippet: Mice were administered 250 mg anti–GR-1 mAb RB6-8C5 (#BE0075; BioXCell), 500 mg anti–Ly-6G mAB 1A8 (#BE0075-1; BioXCell), or 500 mg normal rat serum (NRS) (#89531; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) on days 5–7 post-TMEV infection.
