5. Effect of secoemestrin
C on the percentages of hepatic NKT cells and conventional T cells in
Con A-challenged mice. C57BL/6J mice were sacrificed 8 h after being
injected with Con A, and liver mononuclear cells (MNCs) were collected.
The cells were stained with mAbs against TCRβ, CD4, CD8, or NK1.1, then
analyzed by flow cytometry. (A)
Bar graphs depict the percentages of
TCRβ+NK1.1+ NKT cells (NKT) vs. MNCs
and of TCRβ+NK1.1- conventional T
cells (conT) vs. MNCs. (B) Summary bar graphs display conventional
CD4+ and CD8+ T cell
(CD4+ conT and CD8+ conT)
proportions in conventional T cells. Values shown are means ± SEM and
are pooled from three independent experiments (five mice per group).***P<0.001 vs normal the control (NC) group.##P<0.01 vs. the Con A-treated group.
