From: NKT-like (CD3 + CD56+) cells differ from T cells in expression level of cellular protective proteins and sensitivity to stimulation in the process of ageing

Fig. 4

Expression of SOD2 in nonstimulated and stimulated with IL-2, LPS and PMA/ionomycin CD3+ and CD3 + CD56+ cells of the young, old and oldest age groups. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM and show the expression of SOD2 in the studied cell populations demonstrated as the percentage of cells with the expression of SOD2 protein (%) and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). Solid horizontal lines denote statistically significant differences found between similarly treated cells of different age groups, i.e. young vs. old, young vs. oldest and old vs. oldest. Dashed horizontal lines above paired bars denote statistically significant differences between nonstimulated vs. stimulated cells within the same age group. a. Expression of SOD2 in CD3+ cells (%). b. Expression of SOD2 in CD3+ cells (MFI). c. Expression of SOD2 in CD3 + CD56+ cells (%). d. Expression of SOD2 in CD3 + CD56+ cells (MFI)
