T cell specific cytokine pattern in the lungs of pDC depleted mice following <i>Cpn</i> infection.

Abstract

<p>Following <i>Cpn</i> infection (day 9), the cytokine pattern of CD8 and CD4 T cells in the lungs of pDC depleted and control mice was analysed by intracellular cytokine staining. Graphs show the summary data for TNFα <i>(</i><b><i>A</i></b><i>),</i> and IFNγ <i>(</i><b><i>B</i></b><i>)</i> production by CD8 and CD4 T cells and IL-4 <i>(</i><b><i>C</i></b><i>)</i> and IL-10 <i>(</i><b><i>D</i></b><i>)</i> production by CD4 T cells. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Three independent experiments with three mice in each group were performed and one representative experiment is shown. *, p<0.05, **, p<0.01.</p
