Figure 4From: Quantitative differences in lipid raft components between murine CD4+ and CD8+ T cellsSplenic CD8+ T cells contain significantly higher levels of cholesterol than CD4+ T cells. Splenocytes were washed with PBS, lysed and cholesterol content was measured with a sensitive cholesterol oxidase-based fluorometric assay using the Amplex Red cholesterol kit (n = 3). A significant difference was observed between the CD4+CD8- and CD8+CD4- T cells (p ≤ 0.02).Back to article page
