Article Title: Analysis of Th17 and Tc17 Frequencies and Antiviral Defenses in Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue of Chronic HIV-1 Positive Patients

doi: 10.1155/2015/395484

Figure Lengend Snippet: Activation markers, IFN- γ and IL-17A expression in CD4 + and CD8 + T cells subsets in blood and in gut. Panel (a): representative flow cytometry plots outlining CD38 and HLA-DR expression on naïve, effector, and central memory CD4 + and CD8 + lymphocytes derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Panel (b): representative flow cytometry plots outlining IFN- γ and IL-17A intracitoplasmatic expression on naïve, effector, and central memory CD4 + (Th1 and Th17) and CD8 + (Tc1 and Tc17) lymphocytes derived from PBMCs and GALT.

Article Snippet: Cultured cells were fixed, permeabilized (BD Cytofix/Cytoperm, Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA, USA), and stained with combinations of fluorochrome-labeled monoclonal antibodies: CD3-PerCP, CD4-APC-Vio770, CD8-FITC, CD45RO-PE-Vio770, CD27-VioBlue, IFN- γ -APC, and IL-17A-PE (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany).

Article Title: Grass pollen allergoids conjugated with mannan for subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy: a dose-finding study

doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1431351

Figure Lengend Snippet: Variations (fold-change) in circulating Treg cells and grass allergen-specific IL-10-producing cells after four months of treatment depending on dose and route of administration (subcutaneous: left panels; sublingual: right panels) (A) Percentage of Treg cells (CD4 + CD127 - CD25 + FOXP3 + ) relative to total CD4 + T cells. (B) Number of Phleum-specific spot-forming cells (SFC) secreting IL-10 after their expansion in vitro . (C) Data as in panel B but regrouping of subjects as indicated. Results are expressed as fold-change (median; interquartile range) relative to baseline. Comparison with placebo, Unpaired T test or Mann-Whitney test: * p<0.05.

Article Snippet: For Treg cell analysis, PBMC were first subjected to surface staining with anti-human CD4-PerCP, CD127-PE, and CD25-APC (Miltenyi Biotec).

Techniques: In Vitro, Comparison, MANN-WHITNEY

Article Title: Anti-inflammatory effect of the combined treatment of LMT-28 and kaempferol in a collagen-induced arthritis mouse model

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0302119

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Arthritis scores of mice were measured every 3 days starting at 21 days after the first immunization. (B) DBA1/J mice showed deformation and swelling of the toe and ankle joints. (C) Paraffin-embedded sections of CIA mice joint were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. (D) Histological analysis was performed based on the analysis criteria: inflammation, synovial hyperplasia, pannus formation, and erosion of cartilage and bone. (E) The protein levels of IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17 in CIA mouse serum were measured using ELISA. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. # p <0.05 vs. normal group, * p <0.05, ** p <0.01, and *** p <0.005 vs. CIA control group.

Article Snippet: The cells were incubated with anti-IL-17A-PE antibody (Miltenyi Biotec) or anti-mouse FOXP3 antibody (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) diluted in 1× permeabilization buffer (eBioscience) for 30 min at 4°C in the dark.

Techniques: Staining, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Control
