Cytokine responses during the late stage of EAE. MNCs from the RORγt Tg mice (open bars) produced significantly more IL-17 (A), IL-10 (B), IL-6 (C), and IFN-γ (D) in response to MOG35-55 compared with wild-type mice (closed bars) (*, P < 0.05, t test). ConA also induced higher production of all cytokines in RORγt Tg mice compared with wild-type mice. MNCs were isolated from the inguinal lymph nodes of wild-type or RORγt Tg mice 2 months p.i. and stimulated with ConA or MOG35-55 for 48 hr. The levels of cytokine production in the culture supernatants were measured by ELISA. The results are representative of 4 experiments, consisting of 7–15 mice, for a total 21 wild-type and 19 RORγt Tg mice. Results are mean + SEM from three pools of inguinal lymph nodes from two mice per pool.
