IL-17 Inversely Correlated with IL-10 via the STAT3 Gene in Pneumocystis-Infected Mice

Figure 1

IL-17 levels increased in Pneumocystis-infected mice. IL-17 levels in the sera of PCP mice and WT mice were examined via ELISA (a). Representative flow cytometric dot plots and comparisons of Th17 (CD4⁺IL-17⁺) cells (b) and IL-17⁺γδT (γδT⁺IL-17⁺) cells (c) in the lungs from PCP mice and WT mice. Comparisons were evaluated by Student’s -tests for two-group comparisons. and . Con: control; PCP: Pneumocystis pneumonia.
