Figure Lengend Snippet: Anti-IL12β antibody treatment attenuated TAC-induced alveolar macrophage accumulation and activation of alveolar and interstitial macrophages. (A) Flow cytometry plots of lung alveolar macrophages (AMφ). (B) Quantified data of the percentage of AMφ, Ly6C low interstitial macrophages (IMφ), and monocyte-derived Ly6C high interstitial macrophages (MdMφ) within CD45 + cells. (C) Flow cytometry plots for the identification of IMφ and MdMφ. (D) Quantified data of the percentage of MHCII high AMφ, MHCII high IMφ, and MHCII high MdMφ within CD45 + leukocytes. (E) Flow cytometry plots for the detection of MHCII expression in AMφ. (F) Quantified data of mean fluorescent intensity of MHCII in AMφ, IMφ, and MdMφ. (G-I) Quantified data of MHCII high AMφ, MHCII high IMφ, and MHCII high MdMφ within AMφ, IMφ, and MdMφ, respectively. (J) Representative histograms of MHCII expression in AMφ, IMφ, and MdMφ of the indicated groups. *p<0.05; # p<0.05 IgG-treated TAC mice compared with the control; † p<0.05 anti-IL12β-treated TAC mice compared with IgG-treated TAC mice; $ p<0.05 anti-IL12β-treated TAC mice compared with the control; MHCII high (MHCII + ); n = 4–5 mice per group.
Article Snippet: The infiltrated CD45 + leukocytes in the LV and lung tissues were stained for visualization with goat anti-CD45 antibody (R&D Systems, AF114, 1:100 dilution) and Alexa Flour-555 conjugated donkey anti-goat secondary antibody (Invitrogen, A21432, 1:1000 dilution).
