doi: 10.1038/s42003-024-06365-5
Figure Lengend Snippet: a The expression of p52, RelB and IDO in purified human dMDSCs of uninfected and infected groups were examined by qPCR (data represent the mean ± SD from five independent experiments). b The protein levels of IDO, STAT3, p-STAT3 (Y705), IKKα, p-IKKα, p-p100 in purified human dMDSCs, p52 and RelB in nucleus of dMDSCs of uninfected and infected groups were determined by western blot. c The statistical analysis of IDO, p-STAT3 (Y705), p-IKKα, p-p100, p52 and RelB in protein levels from infected groups and uninfected human dMDSCs by western blot. (data represent the mean ± SD from three independent experiments). d The expression levels of p-STAT3 in mouse dMDSCs were examined by flow cytometry in uninfected ( n = 7) and infected groups ( n = 8) and the results were analyzed by statistical analysis. Data are presented as the mean ± SD, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, human samples in each group assayed individually by the paired t -test and mice samples in each group assayed individually by the unpaired t -test. MFI: mean fluorescence intensity.
