Neutrophildevelopment is normal in mice with myeloid norbin deficiency. (A) Schematic showing the generation of mouse strains with myeloid norbin deficiency (NcdnΔmye) and with combined norbin/Prex deficiency (NcdnΔmyePrex1/2−/−). Norbin deletion from resident peritoneal leukocytes and LPS-induced peritonitis leukocytes (B) and bone marrow–derived isolated neutrophils (C) of NcdnΔmye mice. Norbin western blots (WBs) and Coomassie staining of total cell lysates. (D) Quantification of mature bone marrow–derived neutrophils of the indicated genotypes. Data are mean ± standard error of the mean of 10 independent experiments. (E) Quantification of Ly6Ghi, CD11bhi neutrophils in peripheral blood as percentage of total leukocytes. Data are mean ± standard error of the mean; dots represent individual mice. (F) Representative flow cytometry plots showing expected numbers and marker protein levels of mature CD11bhi, Ly6Ghi neutrophils in bone marrow as percentage of total leukocytes. (G) Representative cytospin images (Diff-Quik stain) showing the characteristic nuclear morphology of mature isolated neutrophils as in panel D.
