Figure 3. CCR5 knockout does not impair CD4+ T cell
functions. A) Viability. Shown is the viability of CD4+ T cells of
several donors 24h after they were either mock-electroporated (Pulse),
or electroporated with mRNA (GFP/TALEN L+L/TALEN L+R) relative to
untreated (UT) cells (n=4-12; * p ≤0,05; ** p ≤0,01; ***p ≤0,001; ±SD). B-C) Proliferation. Shown are the growth curves
of CD4+ T cells subjected to transient cold-shock at 32°C (B) or kept at
37°C (C) after being mock-electroporated (Pulse) or electroporated with
mRNA (GFP, TALEN arms L+L/L+R), or left untreated (UT). Cells were
counted at the indicated time points. Error bars represent ±SD. D-F)
Cytokine secretion. Cytometric bead array was used to assess the release
of TNF-α (D), IFN-γ (E) or IL-2 (F) at indicated timepoints after
stimulation. Samples were measured in triplicate, error bars represent
±SD.
