Fig 1 Detection of VLA-4 expression on BM-derived CD34+CD45+ cells by means of multigating flow cytometry. Plots represent BM, low-density, and nonadherent mononuclear cells stained with CD45–fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/CD34–phycoerythrin (PE). Events in region R4 (true progenitors; identified as CD34high/CD45dull cells with low side scatter) were evaluated for SMFI and analyzed for specific staining with peridinin chlorophyll protein (PerCp)–linked VLA-4 (CD49d) antibody or isotype control. Data were collected with 99% confidence limits (set relative to 1% cells stained with isotype). SSC, Side scatter; FSC, forward scatter.

Fig 2 CD34+CD45+ cell numbers at baseline and several time points after allergen challenge in BM (A; n = 12-13) and PB (B; n = 16 for all time points). Values were log10 transformed to fit a normal distribution before analysis and expressed as the number of CD34+CD45+ cells per 1 million white blood cells (WBC). Difference from baseline: ∗P < .05.

Fig 3 Allergen-induced changes in integrin expression on BM- and PB-derived CD34+CD45+ cells expressed as SMFI. VLA-4 expression decreased after challenge in BM (A; n = 9-15) and PB (B; n = 13-15). VLA-5 expression was unchanged in BM (C; n = 12-16) but decreased in PB (D; n = 16 for all time points). Mac-1 expression was unchanged (E and F; n = 16 for all time points). Difference from baseline: ∗P < .05; difference from BM baseline: †P < .05.

Fig 4 Adhesion of BM-derived CD34+CD45+ cells to BM components expressed as a percentage of total cells added. SDF-1–induced progenitor cell adhesion to fibronectin (A) was attenuated by anti-VLA-4 and anti-VLA-5 antibodies (n = 4 for unstimulated and n = 5 for all other conditions) and that to VCAM-1 (B) was attenuated by anti-VLA-4 antibodies (n = 5 for all conditions). Difference from SDF-1 baseline: ∗P < .05. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , DOI: ( /j.jaci ) Copyright © 2008 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

Fig 5 Effect of allergen challenge on BM-derived CD34+CD45+ cell adhesion to fibronectin. Unstimulated (n = 7) and SDF-1 (1 and 10 ng/mL; n = 9 and n = 8, respectively)–stimulated adhesion to fibronectin was reduced 24 hours after allergen challenge. Adhesion began to recover by 48 hours (inset), as determined from 1 individual's samples (expressed as mean of duplicate assessment). Difference from baseline: ∗P < .05.
