Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) The frequency of CD4+ T cells in normal donors and DOCK8-deficient patients. (B, C) Naïve (CD45RA+CCR7+), central memory (TCM; CD45RA−CCR7+) and effector memory (TEM; CD45RA−CCR7−) populations in normal donors (closed symbol; n = 25) and DOCK8-deficient patients (open symbol; n = 18) were enumerated based on expression of CD45RA and CCR7. (D-G) PBMCs were labelled with mAbs against CD4, CD45RA, CD25, CD127, CXCR5, CXCR3 and CCR6. (D) Treg cells were identified as CD25hiCD127lo. (E) Amongst the non-Treg population naïve and Tfh cells were identified as CXCR5−CD45RA+ and CXCR5+CD45RA−, respectively. (F) Th1, Th2 and Th17 populations were identified within the population of CXCR5−CD45RA− memory CD4+ T cells as CXCR3+ CCR6−, CCR6−CXCR3− and CCR6+CXCR3− cells, respectively. (G) Using this gating the frequency of Tregs, Tfh, Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells within the CD4+ T cell compartment was determined in normal individuals (closed symbol; n = 15 or 16) and in DOCK8-deficient patients (open symbol; n = 10 or 11). Each point represents an individual donor or patient. Statistics performed with Prism using Student t-test. (H-M) Naïve (CD45RA+CCR7+), central memory (TCM; CD45RA−CCR7+) and effector memory (TEM; CD45RA−CCR7−) populations in normal donors (closed symbol) and DOCK8-deficient patients (open symbol) were identified and assessed for expression of (H) CD27, (I) CD28, (J) CD127, (K) CD57, (L) CD95 and (M) PD1. Each point corresponds to the mean ± SEM % of cells expressing the indicated surface receptor, or MFI (mean fluorescence intensity) of expression (n = 4 – 12 normal donors or DOCK8-deficient individuals). Statistics performed with Prism using t-test.
