Figure Lengend Snippet: (A ) STAT1 expression in the lung after 4-day culture in the presence of IFN beta with or without hydrocortisone (HC). ( B) pSTAT1 expression in the same specimens as in A. ( C) Example photomicrographs showing higher STAT2 expression in a TT patient than in a CT patient and the effect of HC on its nuclear translocation. Most STAT2 remains in the cytoplasm of the CT patients, whereas nuclear expression is prominent in the TT patient. Indicated insets are shown in the bottom row. Arrows. ( D ) Combined results of all patients noting that two CT samples are excluded in the data as the patients were already under glucocorticoid treatment at the time of sample acquisition. Ns, not significant; *P<0.05; **P<0.01; and ***P<0.001

Article Snippet: The first stage antibodies were anti-alpha chain of the IFN alpha/beta receptor (St John’s Laboratory STJ112765) that was used 1:2000 and 1:5000 and anti-Stat1 (1:400, 9175S), anti-pStat1(1:100, 9167S) and anti-Stat2 (1:200, 72604S) all from Cell Signalling.

Article Title: Single-cell transcriptional landscape of temporal neutrophil response to burn wound in larval zebrafish

doi: 10.1101/2024.04.01.587641

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic view of validating signatures identified from zebrafish myeloid subsets in human burn patient expression profile. (B) Expression level distribution of Immature_Neuts signatures (top panel) and lgals3bpb_Mac1 (bottom panel) by patient TBSA shown as raincloud plots. Paired T-tests were performed between the Low and the Very High TBSA groups. (C) Expression distribution of GPR84 and GYG1 in patients by TBSA level. Spearman correlation (ρ) is calculated between gene expression and TBSA level. (D) Representative flow plots (left) and quantifications of frequencies shown as percentages (right) of GPR84+ neutrophils in burn (n = 6) and healthy (n = 4) blood. Paired samples t-test, p = 0.022.

Article Snippet: Protein-targeted staining was done with the following antibodies in Cell Staining Buffer: Alexa Fluor 700-conjugated anti-human CD16 at 1:400, PE/Fire-640-conjugated anti-human CD66b at 1:400, PerCP-conjugated anti-human CD3 at 1:200, PerCP-conjugated anti-human CD19 at 1:200, PerCP-conjugated anti-human CD56 at 1:400, PerCP-conjugated anti-human CD203c at 1:100 (BioLegend), BUV395-conjugated mouse anti-human CD45 at 1:100 (BD Biosciences), and PE-conjugated GPR84 at 1:200 (Alomone Labs).
