Altered kinetics of SLE CD34+ progenitors in the kidney. Mice were sacrificed at designated time intervals and the kidney-derived cells were subjected into immunostaining with antibodies against human-only surface markers, in order to assess human cell presence. Lympho-gates (triangle), granulo-gates (square) and mono-gates (circle) represent different immune cell subpopulations and therefore examined separately, according to their FSC/SSC readout. Box plots indicate the average percentages of total lymphocyte populations on all time-points. N = 14. Paired Student’s T-test.
