Figure Lengend Snippet: In this figure, CD53 + and CD53 − HSPCs were sorted on the basis of CD53 surface expression. ( A ) Representative histogram plot of splenic HSCs from CMO mice. The x axis indicates MHCII levels in CD53 − and CD53 + HSCs. Gray peak indicates signal for fluorescence minus one (FMO). ( B ) Frequency of MHCII + in CD53 − and CD53 + MPP and HSC from CMO BM, spleen, and paw. The y axes indicate percentage of MHCII + cells. ( C ) Schematic representation of coculture experiments. ( D ) Representative histogram plot of T cell proliferation after 4 days in coculture with DCs (T DC ; green), CD53 + HSPCs (T CD53+ ; blue), or CD53 − HSPCs (T CD53− ; gray) in the presence of ovalbumin 247-264 peptide (OVA). The negative control (dashed line) represents naïve CD4 + OTII T cells and OVA without APCs. The x axis indicates levels of Cell proliferation dye (CPD). ( E ) Percentage of proliferated CD4 + OTII T cells after 4 days of coculture with CD53 − HSPCs (gray), CD53 + HSPCs (blue), and DCs (green) in the presence of OVA. ( F ) Percentage of anergic CD4 + OTII T cells after 4 days of coculture with CD53 − HSPCs (gray), CD53 + HSPCs (blue), and DCs (green) in the presence of OVA. ( G ) Frequency of viable CD4 + OTII T cells after 4 days of coculture with indicated cells in the presence of OVA. The y axis indicates percentage of viable CD4 + OTII cells. ( H ) Number of OTII T reg cells after 4 days of coculture with the distinct cells types and in the presence of OVA. ( I ) Frequency of c-Kit + HSPCs after 4 days of coculture with naïve CD4 + OTII cells. First two columns represent negative control cocultures containing HSPCs and naïve CD4 + OTII cells without OVA. The other columns represent cocultures containing HSPCs, naïve CD4 + OTII cells, and OVA. HSPCs were CD53 − (gray) or CD53 + (blue). Mice used were 16- to 25-week-old male and female mice. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; and **** P < 0.0001; n.s.= not significant.
Article Snippet: OVA peptide (OVA 323-339, InvivoGen) was introduced to stimulate the cocultures.
