Figure 9. CCL17 and CCL22 are induced in autologous tumor-TFH co-cultures.
TFH (CD3+CD4+CD25−PD1hiCXCR5hi) were sorted by FACS from three cryopreserved FL biopsy samples and three tonsil samples. They were cultured in the absence or presence of autologous tumor cells or tonsil B cells (0.35×106 tumor cells/well). After 96 h, CCL17 (A and C) and CCL22 (B and D) production was assessed in the culture supernatants by ELISA. All P values were calculated using paired Student’s t test.
