Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of IL-13 and IL-4, alone or in combination, and of LPS on TSLP system in HLMs. Highly purified HLMs (1.5 × 10 5 cells/well) were incubated (16 h, 37 °C) in the absence (CTRL) or in the presence of IL-13 (10 ng/mL), IL-4 (10 ng/mL) or their combination, or LPS (100 ng/mL ( A , B ). At the end of incubation, TSLP ( A ) and CXCL8 ( B ) proteins in supernatants were evaluated by ELISA. In parallel experiments, HLM (4.5 × 10 6 cells/well) were incubated (6 h, 37 °C) in the absence (CTRL) or in presence of IL-13 (10 ng/mL), IL-4 (10 ng/mL) or their combination, or LPS (100 ng/mL). At the end of incubation, sfTSLP ( C ), lfTSLP ( D ), TSLPR ( E ), and IL-7Rα ( F ) mRNAs were determined by quantitative RT-PCR. Data are mean ± SD of 6 independent experiments obtained from different patients. * p < 0.01, ** p < 0.001 and § p < 0.0001 vs. CTRL.
Article Snippet: Paraffin-embedded sections were processed for immunohistochemistry by peroxidase anti-peroxidase method using as primary antibody rabbit polyclonal anti-TSLP antibody (1:100) (PA5-78610), rabbit polyclonal antibody anti-TSLP Receptor (PA5-203789, or rabbit polyclonal antibody anti-IL-7Rα (1:100) (PA5-97870) (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Monza, Italy).
