1 Here, we showed that induction of PF4/heparin-specific antibodies by PF4/heparin complexes was markedly impaired in mice depleted of CD4 T cells by anti-CD4 antibodies. Heparin platelet factor 4 Mus musculus
2 Here, we showed that induction of PF4/heparin-specific antibodies by PF4/heparin complexes was markedly impaired in mice depleted of CD4 T cells by anti-CD4 antibodies. Heparin platelet factor 4 Mus musculus
3 Furthermore, Rag1-deficient recipient mice produced PF4/heparin-specific antibodies upon PF4/heparin challenge when reconstituted with a mixture of wild-type splenic B cells and splenocytes from B-cell-deficient (muMT) mice but not splenocytes from T- and B-cell-deficient (Rag1 knockout) mice. Heparin platelet factor 4 Mus musculus
4 Furthermore, Rag1-deficient recipient mice produced PF4/heparin-specific antibodies upon PF4/heparin challenge when reconstituted with a mixture of wild-type splenic B cells and splenocytes from B-cell-deficient (muMT) mice but not splenocytes from T- and B-cell-deficient (Rag1 knockout) mice. Heparin platelet factor 4 Mus musculus
5 Lastly, mice with B cells lacking CD40, a B-cell costimulatory molecule that helps T-cell-dependent B-cell responses, displayed a marked reduction of PF4/heparin-specific antibody production following PF4/heparin challenge. Heparin platelet factor 4 Mus musculus
