Additional file 3: Figure S3. of Aging diminishes the resistance of AO rats to EAE: putative role of enhanced generation of GM-CSF Expressing CD4+ T cells in aged rats

Aging increases weight and cellularity of draining lymph nodes from AO rats immunized for EAE. Bar graphs indicate the (left) lymph node (LN) weight and (right) number of draining lymph node mononuclear cells (MNC) from young and aged rats injected with CFA and Bordetella pertussis (Adjuvant) or immunized for EAE (Immunized). All results are presented as means ± SEM (n = 9/group). Data are representative of one of two experiments with similar results. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001. (TIFF 168 kb
