Figure Lengend Snippet: A Heatmap showing the expression (color bar, Z score) of genes (rows) significantly induced in ILC3s by the fungal infection (Supplementary Fig. ) across different genotypes and conditions (columns) ( Rorc-cre – Fcer1g f/f PBS, n = 4 mice; Rorc-cre + Fcer1g f/f C.A ., n = 4 mice; Rorc-cre – Fcer1g f/f C.A ., n = 3 mice). C.A . represents Candida albicans . B Quantification of the overall expression ( Methods ) of the genes in ( A ). C Quantification of total, CCR6 + and CCR6 – ILC3s in the siLPs of Rorc-cre − Fcer1g f/f and Rorc-cre + Fcer1g f/f mice on day 5 post the infection ( n = 6 mice per group). D-G Representative flow plots showing the intracellular abundance of IL-22 ( D ) or IL-17A ( F ) in total, CCR6 + and CCR6 – ILC3s on day 5 post the infection. Quantification of the frequencies of IL-22 ( E, Rorc-cre – Fcer1g f/f , n = 7 mice; Rorc-cre + Fcer1g f/f , n = 6 mice) or IL-17A ( G, Rorc-cre – Fcer1g f/f , n = 7 mice; Rorc-cre + Fcer1g f/f , n = 6 mice) -expressing cells in each compartment. H, I Representative flow plots showing the phosphorylation of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3 in total ILC3s from siLPs of indicated mice on day 5 post the C. albicans infection ( H ). Quantification of MFI ( I, Rorc-cre – Fcer1g f/f , n = 5 mice; Rorc-cre + Fcer1g f/f , n = 4 mice). Data are representative of two ( C – G ) or one ( H , I ) or from two ( A , B ) independent experiments shown as the mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was tested by two-tailed t test ( B, C, E, G, I ).
Article Snippet: Mice were injected intraperitoneally with a dose of 1 μg rIL-17A protein (R&D Systems) or 0.8 μg rIL-22 protein (R&D Systems) 6 h before C. albicans infection, followed by a booster dose of the same cytokine at 24 h after infection.
