Figure Lengend Snippet: Examination of eplet mismatch immunogenicity in mixed lymphocyte reactions The association between the eplet risk score (ERS) and the activation status of responder CD4 + T cells was analyzed. Representative scattergrams are shown in (A), and aggregated scatterplots are shown in (B). Each stimulator-responder pair was analyzed with 3–6 biological replicates. The effect of an anti-55PP antibody (Ab) or an anti-45EV Ab on the percentage of CFSE low CD4 + T cells in the MLR was assessed using a stimulator-responder pair (pair #4, see ). Representative scattergrams are shown in (C), and aggregated data are shown in (D) and (E). Each antibody concentration group was analyzed with 4–12 biological replicates. ∗ p < 0.05. p values were determined using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, which compared the value at 0 ng/mL Ab with those at 1 × 10 2 and 1 × 10 3 ng/mL Ab. EMn, the number of eplet mismatches; FSC, forward scatter; stim, stimulator. In the scatterplot shown in (B), large dots represent the median value of each stimulator-responder pair, small dots represent values obtained from each individual experiment, vertical lines represent ranges, and the gray area represents 95% confidence interval (CI) of the regression line. In the bar charts shown in (D) and (E), the top of the bar represents the median value, whereas the points represent values from individual experiments.
