Treatment with MSCs significantly increased CD4 T cells in the lung. Mice were treated with MSCs or CTX as described above. BALF cells were collected and analysed by surface staining. (a) Representative FACS data of BALF CD4 T cells. The frequencies (b) and absolute numbers (c) of CD4 T cells. (d, e) Expression of CD44 by CD4 T cells. Data were expressed as the . -4 mice for each treatment group; and . This experiment is representative of three individual experiments.
