Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Titration of rtN1- and rtN2-spe- cific serum IgG in ELISA The sera samples collected 2 weeks after (A and D) prime immunization, (B and E) first booster, and (C and F) second booster were titrated for (A–C) rtN1 and (D–F) rtN2. Each dot represents the serum antibody titer from one mouse (n = 5 per group). Bars represent the mean values of serum antibody titers. The dash line represents the limit of detection, corresponding to the initial serum dilution. The positive wells were determined as OD values above mean +2 3 SD of the OD value of the initial pre-immune sera dilution. Statistical signifi- cance was analyzed by t test for (B), (C), (E), and (F). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ****p < 0.001. All experiments were repeated twice using the same serum samples and showed similar results.

Article Title: Myeloid Cell Function in MRP-14 (S100A9) Null Mice

doi: 10.1128/MCB.23.7.2564-2576.2003

Figure Lengend Snippet: MRP-14 protein is absent in MRP-14−/− monocytes and neutrophils. (A) Myeloid cells were identified by flow cytometry by staining MRP-14+/+ and MRP-14−/− bone marrow cells with MAb 7/4. (B) The MAb 7/4-positive myeloid cells (R1) from MRP-14+/+ and MRP-14−/− mice were intracellularly stained with either MAb 2B10, specific for MRP-14 (shaded histogram), or an IgG2a isotype control MAb (open histogram). (C) In MRP-14+/+ mice, two different MRP-14-positive populations (R2 and R3) can be seen that are absent in MRP-14−/− myeloid cells. These populations correspond to monocytes (R2) and neutrophils (R3), based on their differential staining with MAb Gr-1. Open histogram represents the Gr-1-negative, 7/4-negative cells. Inset numbers represent the geometric mean fluorescence of three Gr-1-positive populations.

Article Snippet: MRP-14 was detected with MAb 2B10 (2 μg/ml) and compared to control IgG2a, followed by goat anti-rat immunoglobulin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (1:500, Southern Biotechnology).
