IL-17 Production on F. tularensis LVS Infection

Type of cell	Uninfected lungs	B6-infected lungs	Il10−/−-infected lungs
CD4+ IL-17+ T cells	1.8 × 104 ± 6 × 103	2.4 × 105 ± 9.2 × 104∗	4.2 × 105 ± 1.5 × 104†
γδ+ IL-17+ T cells	1.2 × 104 ± 6.2 × 103	1.7 × 105 ± 7.4 × 104∗	2.9 × 105 ± 6.1 × 104†

B6 and Il10^−/− mice were left uninfected or were infected with 1000 CFUs F. tularensis LVS intratracheally. On day 6, single-cell lung suspensions were assayed for IL-17 production by intracellular staining and flow cytometry.

^∗P ≤ 0.005 between B6-infected and uninfected mice.

^†P ≤ 0.05 between B6-infected and Il10^−/−-infected mice.
