Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A – H ) hILC2s (CD45 + , lineage – , CRTH2 + , and CD127 + ) were freshly isolated from PBMCs of healthy donors and cultured with or without anti-ICOS ligand (anti-ICOSL). Right panel shows hILC2 purity after being sorted. ( B – F ) Levels of IL-10 ( B ), IL-4 ( C ), IL-5 ( D ), IL-6 ( E ), and IL-13 ( F ) in the culture supernatants following treatment with or without anti-ICOSL. n = 6. ( G and H ) The expression levels of intranuclear Ki67 ( G ) and GATA-3 ( H ) expression is presented as MFI. n = 6. ( I and J ) Representative histogram of MAF ( I ) and NFIL3 ( J ) protein expression levels . Corresponding quantitation is presented as MFI. n = 4. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Two-tailed Student’s t test was employed for statistical analysis; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001. Schematic images were created in Adobe Illustrator. FMO, fluorescence minus one.
Article Snippet: After red blood cell lysis (BioLegend), CRTH2 + cells were isolated using the CRTH2 MicroBead Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) as per the manufacturer’s protocol.
