Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of Immune Education, CLP, and Specific Cytokine Blockade on Innate and T Cell Immune Responses. Hepatic leukocytes were isolated from Educated or control C57Bl/6 mice prior to or 24 h. following CLP alone or with specific cytokine blockade; innate immune cell numbers and cytokine production were assessed. Total number of hepatic neutrophils ( A ) or MoDCs ( B ), and percent TNF + ( C ), IL1β + ( D ) or IL12p40 + MoDCs ( E ) and total number of hepatic CD8 T cells ( F ) in control (Blue) or Educated (Red) mice at baseline, following CLP or following CLP with IFNγ, IL12p40, TNF, or IL17A/F combined blockade. CLP with IL17A or IL17F blockade shown to the right. Analyzed by 2-way ANOVA. IL17A and IL17F analyzed separately. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001, **** = p < 0.0001 for comparisons between two groups, # = p < 0.05 for cytokine effect compared to CLP. N = 3–12/group. Cytokine production analyzed in a subset of samples. Gating: Neutrophils = FSC/SSC, Singlets, Live Cells, CD11b + /CD11c − , Ly6G + /Ly6C + , MoDCs = FSC/SSC, Singlets, Live, CD11b + /CD11c − , Ly6G − , MHCII + , Macrophages = FSC/SSC, Singlets, Live, CD11b + /CD11c − , Ly6G − , MHCII − , Ly6C Hi /CD64 + , CD8 + T cells = FSC/SSC, Singlets, Live, CD90 + /CD8 +
Article Snippet: IFNγ (XMG1.2, dose: 0.5 mg), IL12p40 (C17.8, dose: 1 mg), TNF (XT3.11, 1 mg), IL17A (17F3, dose: 0.5 mg) and IL17F (MM17F8F5.1A9, dose: 0.5 mg) blocking antibodies were all obtained from BioXCell (Lebanon, NH), diluted from stock concentration in sterile PBS and administered through intraperitoneal injection at in vivo blocking doses as previously described in the literature.
