Figure Lengend Snippet: Levels of Th1 and Th17 cell development after stimulation with SJL and B6.S DCs in the presence of various TLR ligands. Purified CD4+ T cells from VP2-TCR-Tg SJL mice were activated for 4 days with SJL or B6.S DCs in the presence of PBS, VP274–86 peptide, UV-TMEV, or live TMEV with or without TLR agonists: Pam3CSK4 (Pam) (TLR2 ligand; 10 ng/ml), LTA (TLR2 ligand; 1 μg/ml), poly(I:C) (TLR3 ligand; 50 μg/ml), LPS (TLR4 ligand; 100 ng/ml), CL087 (TLR7 ligand; 0.1 μg/ml), or CpG (TLR9 ligand; 0.1 μg/ml). The cells were then restimulated for 6 h with PMA and ionomycin prior to FACS analysis. The plots were gated on CD4+ T cells. The numbers in the FACS plots represent the percentages of IFN-γ+ and IL-17+ cells within the CD4+ cells. The presented data are representative of two separate experiments.
Article Snippet: The TLR7 ligand CL087 and the TLR9 ligand type B CpG oligonucleotide were obtained from InvivoGen (San Diego, CA) and used at 0.1 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml, respectively.
