Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4 mRNA expression of IL-9 and IL-4 and their corresponding transcription factors in malignant pleural effusions (MPE). The mononuclear cells were isolated from MPE of wild type (WT) mice (top panels), WT mice receiving intraperitoneal injection of anti-IL17 mAb (WT+anti-IL-17, second pan- els), IL-17/ mice (third panels), and IL-17/ mice receiving intraperitoneal injection of recombinant mouse IL17 (IL-17/+rmIL-17, bottom panels). RNA was isolated, and qPCR was performed for il9 mRNA (A), il4 mRNA (B), irf4 mRNA (C), and gata3 mRNA (D). Electrophoresis’ photographs are representa- tives of four independent experiments. Data are presented as mean±SE of four experiments. *, P<0.01 compared with WT mice; †, P<0.01 compared with IL-17/ mice, the comparisons were determined by one-way ANOVA.
Article Snippet: The cell pellets of MPE, blood, and spleen were resuspended in PBS, and mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque gradient centrifugation (Pharmacia, Sweden) to determine T cell subsets within 1 h. In vivo treatment of mice At days 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 after intrapleural instillation of LLC cells, WT mice (n=10) received intraperitoneal injection of 100 μg anti-IL17A neutralizing mAb (clone eBioMM17F3, eBioscience, lgG1, USA) or 100 μg mouse IgG1 isotype control mAb (eBioscience); while IL-17/ mice were injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 μg recombinant mouse (rm) IL17A diluted in PBS containing 0.1% albumin (R&D System, USA) or PBS containing 0.1% albumin in a total volume of 100 μL.
