Figure 1From: CD80+ and CD86+B cells as biomarkers and possible therapeutic targets in HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis and multiple sclerosis Gating strategy for CD80 and CD86 quantification in PBMCs. PBMCs from a representative HAM/TSP patient were stained with CD3-, CD19-, CD80- and CD86-specific monoclonal antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry. P1 (in blue contours) represents the lymphocyte gate. Percentages of CD80+ and CD86+ cells within the lymphocyte gate (P1) are indicated in the respective quadrants (red contours).Back to article page
