Differentiation into Th17 cells after coculture of PBMCs with cADSC-EVs. (a) Flow cytometric detection of CD4+IL-17+ cells among CD3+ T cells (gated in red square). Non-stim control: PBMCs that were not stimulated with PMA and ionomycin Stimulated control: PBMCs after coculture with cADSC-EVs and stimulated by PMA and ionomycin. (b) Comparison of CD4+IL-17+ cells among CD3+ T cells after coculture of PBMCs with various concentrations (1 or 3 μg/ml) of naive or primed cADSC-EVs. The ratio of Th17 cells was not significantly different between naive and primed EVs at the same concentrations. The solid line indicates the average. vs. stimulated control. , between groups.
