Figure 2. Circulating ILC1lc expanded and characterized by FACS analysis.
(A) PBMCs activated by IL-18, IL-33 and IL-12 were sorted by FACS Aria and characterized by FACS analysis. ILC1lc markers were identified by the expression of CD127+, CD161+, c-KIT-, and CRTH2-, high levels of integrin α1 (CD49a) expression, combined with the absence of integrin α2 (CD49b) and transcription factors Eomeshi and T-betlo (B) unstimulated PBMCs (C) isotype controls. N=10 blood donors, 1.5 × 106 cells/blood donor, analysis was performed in triplicates from each of the blood donors. Following Shapiro-Wilk test, Student’s t-test, p<0.05.
