Figure 1. Measurements of different cell populations in spleen cells by flow cytometry using appropriate surface markers conjugated with different fluorochromes. Fluorescence signal of T-cell surface marker CD3e conjugated with PE-Vio770 (P1 = T cells) and B-cell surface marker CD19 conjugated with APC-Vio770 (P2 = B cells) on the cells from mice receiving (a) vehicle control or (b) lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The percentage of each cell population in mice (c) 24 h after LPS treatment (three doses, n = 4) or (d) 3 weeks after treatment with extracellular vesicles (10 doses, n = 10). Bars and error bars denote the mean and standard deviation, respectively, of experimental groups. PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; WT, wild-type HEK293T cells. *p < 0.05.
