Analysis of apoptosis in MOG-specific B cells. (a) We used annexin V and DAPI to characterize MOG-BBR apoptosis cells in MS () and HI (). We analysed annexin V⁺ DAPI⁻ (early apoptotic cells) and annexin V⁺ DAPI⁺ (late apoptotic cells) in the MOG-BBR subset. The gating strategy was represented. (b) We compared the frequency of MOG-BBR apoptotic cells in MS and HI in early (ns, ) and late states (ns, ), Mann-Whitney test.
