doi: 10.1172/JCI171501
Figure Lengend Snippet: LNMNCs were either fixed immediately or grown for 2 days with CD3/CD28 beads and then fixed and pelleted. After Histogel added to the fixed cell pellet had solidified, the pellets were embedded in paraffin and sectioned and reacted with antibodies against CD4, CDK9, and cyclin T1. ( A and B ) CD4, blue; ( C and D ) CDK9, red; and ( E and F ) cyclin T1, green. ( G and H ) In the merged images, both before and after activation, pTEFb components CDK9 and cyclin T1 were detected as yellow- to orange-appearing nuclei in blue CD4 + T cells. Scale bar: 10 mm. ( I ) Whisker plot of data from of pTEFb expression in CD4 + T cells in LN tissue sections from 5 participants in Fiebig I (average percentage, 76.7%; range, 72.1%–81%) and 2 individuals without HIV infection (average percentage, 84%; range, 82.5%–87.4%). Scale bar: 10 µm.
Article Snippet: In the double-label phenotyping analyses, following the ELF97 step, tissues sections were twice washed in TBS for 5 minutes and blocked by background Sniper (BS966L, Biocare Medical) for 45 minutes, before incubating the tissue sections at 4°C overnight with anti-CD4 antibody (1:25 dilution, ab133616, Abcam) or CD25 (4C9) (1:20 dilution, 125M-16, Cell Marque).
