Article Title: Th17 (IFN γ − IL17 + ) CD4 + T Cells Generated After Burn Injury May Be a Novel Cellular Mechanism for Postburn Immunosuppression
doi: 10.1097/TA.0b013e31820d18a6
Figure Lengend Snippet: Wound-draining lymph nodes, but not the spleen, contain Th17 cells 3 days and 14 days after burn injury. Cells were harvested from spleens, as well as inguinal and axillary PLNs, 3 days or 14 days after a 20% TBSA, full-thickness burn, or sham injury. Bulk PLN cells were stimulated in vitro and intracellular cytokine staining was performed, and flow cytometry was used to measure IL-17 and IFN-γ production by CD3+ CD4+ cells. Representative examples of the flow cytometry histograms for each lymphoid organ are provided.
Article Snippet: Th17 In Vitro Cell Polarization Purified CD4 + T cells from burn and sham mice (1 × 10 6 cells/mL) cells were stimulated with plate bound antimouse CD3 antibody (1 μ g/well; Becton Dickinson, San Diego, CA) and soluble antimouse CD28 antibody (5 μ g/mL; BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA) in the presence of IL-6 (50 ng/mL; BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA) and TGF- β (1 ng/mL; PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) cytokines for a total of 4 days in 0.5 mL of complete RPMI (10% fetal calf serum) in 48-well flat-bottom plates.
