Published customer image: Intrafollicular location of MZB cells in B6.TC spleens. A. Representative spleen sections from 3 mo old B6.TC (left) and B6 (right) mice stained with Moma-1-FITC, CD1d-PE and B220-PB. The B220+ CD1d+ MZB cells show as bright pink while the other B cells show as blue. The ring of Moma-1+ metallophillic macrophages delineates the MZ inner edge. B. Percentage of CD1d+ B220+ B cells relative to total B220+ B cells outside (MZ) and inside (FO) the Moma-1+ ring in 3 mo and 10 mo old B6 and B6.TC mice. The data show means and standard errors of the mean (SEM) calculated of 4 MZ and FO areas for each mouse. ***: p < 0.001 for t tests. C. Representative spleen sections from 10 mo old B6.TC (left) and B6 (right) mice stained with CD4-FITC, CD1d-PE and B220-PB. Boxed areas show multiple contacts between green B6.TC CD4 T cells and pink MZB cells, but not in the B6 spleen. Original magnification: 200X.From: Zhou et al. BMC Immunology 2011 12:7.
Immunofluorescence staining of mouse spleen with Rat anti Mouse CD169 (MBS216690)
Published customer image: Intrafollicular location of 56R and AM14 HC Tg MZB cells. Representative spleen sections of B6.Sle2.56R and B6.56R (A, 100X) and B6.TC.AM14.IgHa/b and B6.AM14.IgHa/b (B, 200X) mice stained with Moma-1-FITC, CD1d-PE, and IgMa-biotin-SA-PB. C. Quantitation in pixels corresponding to the stain combination specific for each cell type of CD1d+ IgMa cells in the MZ (pink) and corresponding FO (blue) B cell areas in B6.Sle2.56R, B6.56R, B6.TC.AM14.IgHa/b and B6.AM14.IgHa/b mice. Paired MZ and FO values within a strain were compared with the Wilcoxon signed ranked test, and the B6.TC.AM14.IgHa/b and B6.AM14.IgHa/b MZ values were compared with the Mann-Whitney test. CD21hi CD23hi representing the T2 and MZB precursor cells expressed as the percentage of transgenic IgMa cells (D), and percentage of CD21hi CD23lo MZ B cells expressed as the percentage of transgenic IgMa cells (E) and their absolute numbers (F) in B6.Sle2.56R and B6.56R and B6.TC.AM14.IgHa/b and B6.AM14.IgHa/b mice. Graphs show means and SEMs, and the statistical significance of Student t tests. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, ***: p < 0.001.From: Zhou et al. BMC Immunology 2011 12:7.
