doi: 10.3390/cells11213406
Figure Lengend Snippet: Mouse-Ly-6G efficiently depleted neutrophils in C57Bl6/J, Balb/c, NXG, and SCID mice. ( a ) Experimental set-up; i.p. injections with the depletion antibodies were performed three times a week for four weeks. Blood was drawn via cheek puncture once a week before injection with the antibodies; ( b , c ) Longitudinal analysis of the number of CD45 + Siglec-F − CD115 − SSC high Gr-1 + CD11b + neutrophils in the peripheral blood ( n = five mice per group) per 5000 latex beads, showing; ( b ) Significant, almost complete, neutrophil depletion in all mouse strains tested (C57Bl6/J, Balb/c, NXG, and SCID) upon treatment with 100 μg mouse-Ly-6G antibody, and ( c ) Significantly better neutrophil depletion in 100 μg mouse-Ly-6G treated C57Bl6/J mice than when treated with 100 μg rat-Ly-6G antibody. Data is presented as mean with SEM. Statistics: one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. Repeated measures one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction was used to compare groups in c, * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001, **** = p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: Experiments were conducted using C57Bl/6J (C57Bl/6JRj), Balb/c (Balb/cByJRj), NXG (NOD.Prkdc scid Il2rg tm1 /Rj), SCID (NOD.CB17-Prkdc scid/scid /Rj), and human FcαRI (CD89) transgenic SCID mice (all housed and bred at Janvier Labs, Paris, France) [ ], or C57Bl/6J FcRγ −/− (C57Bl/6JRj FcRγ-chain knockout) mice (housed and bred at the University of Utrecht) [ ].
