Figure 2.

Ablation of lymph S1P by conditional deletion of Sphk1 in Sphk2-deficient mice. (A) Flow cytometric analysis showing S1P1 on CD4+ CD62Lhi T cells from the indicated circulatory fluids and tissues. Δ indicates Lyve-1 Cre+ Sphk1f/− or f/f Sphk2−/− mice; C indicates littermate control. The shaded histograms show staining with control antibody of cells from LN and blood. Bld, blood; Lym, lymph; Spl, spleen. (B) Measurement of S1P level by bioassay. Lymph fluid and plasma samples were prepared (see Materials and methods) and titrated onto WEHI231 cells expressing FLAG-S1P1. The x axis shows dilution of the samples. The y axis indicates mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of FLAG antibody staining. Data are representative of at least five experiments with one to two mice each.
