Figure 1. The phenotype of PF IL-17-producing T cells in
endometriosis. (A) Representative FLOW CYTOMETRY plots showing
IL-17-producing T cells in endometriosis PF. Single cells were gated
among the whole events, followed by gating lymphocytes based on FSC-A
and SSC-A. CD3+IL-17A+ cells were
then observed in lymphocytes. Numbers in the quadrants indicate the
percentages of cell populations. (B) Detection of indicated
surface markers in PF IL-17-producing T cells. Isotype: isotype antibody
control. Ab: specific antibody for corresponding markers. (C)Frequencies of CCR6+CCR4+ and
CCR6+CCR4- subpopulations in
IL-17-producing T cells. (D) Frequencies of
IL-17RE+CD27-,
IL-17RE+CD27+,
IL-17RE-CD27+, and
IL-17RE-CD27- subset in
IL-17-producing T cells. N=5 individuals per group.
