Tg4<sup>KO</sup> mice show reduced induction of IL-10<sup>+</sup> T cells and tolerance-associated transcription factors following [4Y] treatment. Graham J. Britton Ruth E. Mitchell Bronwen R.

(<b>H</b>) Representative flow cytometry plots and plots of combined data (<b>I-J</b>) of FoxP3 and cMaf expression in splenic CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells from Tg4<sup>WT</sup> and Tg4<sup>KO</sup> mice treated with [4Y] or PBS. All flow cytometry data is gated on live (viability dye<sup>-</sup>) CD4<sup>+</sup> cells. (K-M) Expression of <i>Il10</i>, <i>cmaf</i> and <i>Nfil3</i> in magnetically-isolated CD4<sup>+</sup> splenocytes from Tg4<sup>WT</sup> and Tg4<sup>KO</sup> treated with [4Y], restimulated for 18 hours <i>ex vivo</i> with anti-CD3ε and CD28, as measured by RT-PCR. Plots F, G, K-M show data from one experiment with 3–4 mice per group. All other plots show the data from two experiments combined, with a total of 6–8 mice per group. All plots show the mean +/- SEM with each point representing data from one animal. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001, ns p>0.05 assessed by ANOVA with Tukey’s correction for multiple comparisons (plots B-G and I-J). p values shown in K-M were calculated by two-tailed Student’s T test.</p> 2017-02-03 18:56:08 surface receptors PD PKC θ Protein kinase C theta antigen administration transcription factors cMaf IL -10 expression T cells CD 4 IL -10-secreting T cells PKC θ-deficient mice IL -10 molecule protein kinase C theta IL -10-secreting T cells Secretion wildtype Tg 4 T cells MBP ïve T cells Tr 1-like IL -10 PKC θ-deficient Tg 4 mice PKC θ-deficient Tg 4 T cell receptor
