We nevertheless found that infected crickets responded to the light stimulus with a slight increase in path straightness (i.e., infected insects walked straighter when stimulated, index of path straightness was significantly different and higher than zero, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, P = 0.05, see Supplementary Table 1 and Supplementary Figure 1).
Of note, the stimulation index (ratio of stimulated to fasting human insulin) was significantly increased compared to controls in the medium-dose group for Donor 1, and both medium- and high-dose groups for Donors 3 and 4 transplants.
The results are expressed as delta cpm (cpm in cultures stimulated with antigen – cpm in cultures without antigen) or stimulation index (SI) (cpm in antigen stimulated cultures/cpm induced by supernatants from medium only cultures).
Results were expressed as stimulation index (counts per minute of stimulated cultures divided by counts per minute of unstimulated cultures).
Also, the stimulation index (SI), the ratio of stimulated cells cpm and nonstimulated cells cpm, has been used.
The acute improvement of IS 1 month after surgery is in accordance with previous reports that analyzed BPD in obese patients with type 2 diabetes using the fasting index of IS (HOMA-IR) (8, 10, 11), the stimulated indexes of whole-body IS from the OGTT (7), and the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (6, 7, 9).
The data is expressed as a lymphocyte stimulation index [LSI = (mean cpm of stimulated cells)/ mean cpm of unstimulated cells)] to define antigen specificity.
The T lymphocyte stimulation index (SI) was defined as the ratio between stimulated and non-stimulated T lymphocytes.
Stimulation Index was calculated as [counts per minute, stimulated cells]/[counts per minute, media-treated control cells].
The data are presented as stimulation index (SI, Mean cpm of the antigen stimulated wells/Mean cpm of control.
