Article Title: Syntaxin Binding Protein 1 Is Not Required for Allergic Inflammation via IgE-Mediated Mast Cell Activation

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0058560

Figure Lengend Snippet: A, Wild type, STXBP1 mutant, or heterozygous mice were identified by PCR using DNA from liver cells. B , After 4–5 weeks of culture, liver-derived mast cells (LMC) were examined by toluidine blue staining to determine mast cell purity. A representative photomicrograph is shown (original magnification = ×100). C , LMCs were sensitized with anti-TNP IgE, stained with FITC-conjugated anti-IgE or anti-c-kit antibodies, and examined by flow cytometry. D, STXBP1 +/+ and STXBP1 −/− LMCs were sensitized with anti-TNP IgE and stimulated with TNP-BSA (10 ng/ml) for various times. Whole cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting for STXBP1 and Actin. E, Sec1/Munc18 (SM) family gene expression profiles were identified by RT-PCR using mRNA from wild type mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC), and wild type (STXBP1 +/+ ) or STXBP1 −/− LMCs, with or without TNP-BSA stimulation. All members of SM family are expressed in wild type BMMCs and LMCs. Similar results were observed in 2 independent experiments.

Article Snippet: FITC-conjugated rat anti-mouse IgE (IgG1), FITC-rat IgG1 and FITC-conjugated rat anti-mouse CD117 (c-kit) were purchased from Cedarlane Laboratories (Burlington, ON, Canada).

Article Title: A cholera toxoid-insulin conjugate as an oral vaccine against spontaneous autoimmune diabetes

Figure Lengend Snippet: T cells from CTB-insulin-fed NOD mice suppress beta cell infiltration by diabetogenic T cells. Immunofluorescence staining of pancreatic islets from irradiated NOD males 30 days after co-injection of syngeneic Thy-1,2+ T cells from 20-week-old diabetic female mice with Thy-1,1+ T cells from congenic NOD mice that were fed CTB-insulin (A, C) or CTB-ovalbumin (B, D). Immunostainings were performed with monoclonal antibodies to Thy-1,2+ (A, B) and Thy-1,1+ (C, D). Original magnifications ×250.

Article Snippet: The percentage of donor Thy-1,1+ T cells in the spleen, mesenteric, and pancreatic lymph nodes of recipient NOD males was determined 7, 15, and 30 days after cell transfer by cytofluorometric analysis using FITC-labeled rat monoclonal antibodies to Thy-1,1 (clone CL005F; Cedarlane Laboratories) or Thy-1,2 (clone 30H12; Biosys, Compiègne, France) ( 32 ).
