Figure Lengend Snippet: H1N1 infected different subsets of primary human T cells heterogeneously. (A) Distribution of different subsets in infected human CD4 + T cells. Left, 0 h.p.i.; right, 16 h.p.i. Blue, naïve CD4 + T; green, follicular helper T (Tfh); wine, CD4 + cytotoxic T (CTL); rose pink, regulatory T (Treg). (B) Distribution of different subsets in infected human CD8 + T cells. Left, 0 h.p.i.; right, 16 h.p.i. Blue, naïve CD8 + T; green, stem cell memory T (T SCM ); wine, effector memory T (T EM ); rose pink, terminally differentiated effector T (T TE ); yellow, exhaust T (T EX ). (C) Infection rates among different primary human CD4 + and CD8 + T subsets. Blue, 0 h.p.i.; red, 16 h.p.i.; green dotted line, 5%. (D) mRNA expression levels of viral HA in naïve CD8 + T and CD8 + T EM from one healthy donor at eight time points. Results are represented as mean fold change ± SD and statistical significances were analysed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 through Student’s t -test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, ns = non-significant. (E) Immunofluorescent staining of naïve CD8 + T and CD8 + T EM which exposure to H1N1 respectively. Green, α-2,6-linked sialic acid receptors; pink, CD45RO; red, viral HA proteins; blue, DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole).
Article Snippet: Primary antibodies to α-2,6-linked sialic acid receptors (Vector Laboratories®, FL-1301-2), CD45RO (abcam, [UCH-L1] ab23) and influenza H1N1 viral HA antibody (Sino Biological®, 11085-T54) was diluted 1:200 in blocking buffer (1% BSA) and incubated overnight at 4 °C.
