a Representative plots of flow cytometric detection of production of intracellular IL-17A and production of intracellular IFN-γ in BAL CD4+ T cells from polyclonally activated BAL cells of disease controls and patients with sarcoidosis. b Frequencies of IL-17A+CD4+ and IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells from polyclonally activated BAL of disease controls (diamonds, n=5) and patients with sarcoidosis (square, n=10). c Representative plots of flow cytometric detection of production of intracellular IL-17A and production of intracellular IFN-γ in BAL CD4+ T cells from ESAT-6 stimulated BAL cells of disease controls and patients with sarcoidosis. d Frequencies of IL-17A+CD4+ and IFN-γ+CD4+ from ESAT-6 stimulated BAL cells of disease controls (diamonds, n=5) and patients with sarcoidosis (squares, n=10).
