  1. Flow cytometry data of murine splenocytes incubated with varying concentrations of npGG aAPCs over 1 and 5 days in the percentage of CD4+ T cells positive for nanoparticles. CD4+ T cells were labeled with AF647 while npGG-α-CD3 were labelled with AF488 anti-rat IgG. Double positive labeling was translated in the % of CD4+ T cells with surface bound npGG-α-CD3. Quantitative results are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation where n = 3, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA with Kruskal–Wallis multiple comparison post-test
