Figure 6. Cells of NIMAd-exposed mice express low levels of maternal MHC class I antigen. Cells from thymus, spleen, pooled LNs, bone marrow, and blood of NIMAd-exposed and NIPAd control mice were stained with anti-H2Kd antibody and analyzed by flow cytometry. A minimum of 106 events were collected for each sample. All cells in the live gate (propidium iodide–excluding) were included in the analysis. (A) An example of flow histograms of H2Kd expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a NIMAd-exposed, NIPAd control, B6 negative control, and BDF1 positive control mouse. (B) Summary data of percentage of H2Kd-dim cells in various lymphoid organs of NIMAd-exposed mice (▵) and NIPAd control mice (●). B6 background values have been subtracted. The horizontal line indicates the lower limit of sensitivity by flow cytometry. (C) Example of levels of maternal H2Kd-dim offspring cells in blood at 4 different time points after weaning. (D) Comparison of peak percentages of maternal antigen-dim offspring cells (from 4 different time points tested) among 3 groups of offspring. The error bars represent SEM.
