Inhibins Tune the Thymocyte Selection Process by Regulating Thymic Stromal Cell Differentiation

Figure 5

Inhα^−/− thymic cDCs display increased intracellular levels of Activin A. The histograms show the intracellular Activin A expression in cDCs (a), cTECs (b), and mTECs (c) derived from Inhα^+/+ and Inhα^−/− mice; for each histogram two Inhα^−/− (gray and dashed lines) and one Inhα^+/+ mice (black line) were represented. (a, b, c right) summary of data showing the expression (MFI) of Activin A relative to the secondary antibody staining in the different cell subpopulation analyzed. One representative histogram from Inhα^+/+ () and Inhα^−/− () mice analyzed is shown. Statistical significance: .
