Figure 10. Effect of NaF and NaF-combined with 200 μmol/L 4-PBA treatment on apoptosis of cultured splenic lymphocytes at 48 h. (a-h) Two-dimension scatter plots depicting distribution of cells positively stained for Annexin V-PE/7-AAD. (a) CG, (b) LG, (c) MG and (d) HG, (e) CG+4-PBA, (f) LG+4-PBA, (g) MG+4-PBA, (h) HG+4-PBA. (i) Quantitative analysis of total apoptotic lymphocytes. Data are presented with the means ± standard deviation, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, compared with the control group. Data were analyzed by the variance (ANOVA) test of the SPSS 19.0 software.
