Figure Lengend Snippet: The ratio of Th17/Treg in CD4+ T cells in IL-35 group or control group on day 1, 3, 5 after co-culturing. A remarkable difference in the ratio of Th17/Treg in CD4+ T cells was observed under these conditions, particularly on day 5 after co-culture (1.4% in control group vs. 0.1% in IL-35 group, P<0.01). Results are expressed as means ± SEM, from two experiments (n = 3 times/group/experiment). Unpaired t-tests were performed for comparisons between control- and IL-35- groups on corresponding days. *, ** and *** denote p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001, respectively.
Article Snippet: CD4+, CD4+CD25+, IL-17A+, and CD4+CD25- T cells were sorted by using the Stemcell magnetic sorter (cat: 18000), the human/mouse CD4 T cell negative selection kit (cat: 19852), the human/mouse Treg positive selection kit (cat: 18782), following the manufacturer’s instructions.
