Extended Data Fig. 1: Neuropathic pain-induced changes in splenic immune cell populations.

a, Gating strategy of the different immune cell subpopulations in the splenic immune cells analyzed by flow cytometry. b–d Flow cytometry dot plots (left) and summary data (right) of B cells (b), T cells (c), and NK cells (d) in the spleen of 1D, 1W, 2W, 3W, and 4W SNI mice (and time-matched sham mice). e, Flow cytometry dot plots (left) and summary data (right) of CD8 T cells in the spleen of 1D, 1W, 2W, 3W, and 4W SNI model mice (and time-matched sham mice). f, Flow cytometry dot plots (left) and summary data (right) of CD4 T cells in the spleen of 1D (t24 = 2.167, P = 0.0404), 1W (t19 = 0.4459, P = 0.6607), 2W (t11 = 1.643, P = 0.1287), 3W (t10 = 0.4361, P = 0.6721) and 4W (t23 = 3.878, P < 0.001) SNI mice (and time-matched sham mice). Significance was assessed by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test in (b–f). All data are presented as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, not significant (n.s.). Details of the statistical analyses are presented in Supplementary Table 1.
