Tissue cell counts and frequencies in adrenalectomized mice^a.

a<p>Surgically adrenalectomized mice were treated with SU5416 (25 mg/kg/day) or equivalent amounts of vehicle. Tissues were harvested after 3 days and labeled for flow cytometric analysis. Spleen and PLN were labeled for detection of CD4, CD8, and CD19 (B cells). Thymus was labeled for CD4 and CD8. Bone marrow was labeled for B220, IgM, and IgD. *Differences between vehicle and SU5416 were significant; p<0.05.</p>b<p>Abbreviations used: DP, CD4 and CD8 double-positive; BM, bone marrow; PLN, peripheral lymph node; Pro/Pre, IgM^-IgD^– progenitor/precursor B cells; Imm, IgM⁺IgD^– immature B cells; Mature, IgM⁺IgD⁺ mature B cells.</p>c<p>Frequencies and total cell number of B cell populations in BM were calculated by gating on B220⁺ cells.
