Administration of hAECs increases Th2 cells in the CNS and shifts the inflammatory profile towards an anti-inflammatory environment. Mononuclear cells were isolated from NOD/Lt mice at day 37 and the phenotype of T helper cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Th1 (CD4 + IFN-γ+), Th17 (CD4 + IL-17+), and Th2 (CD4 + IL-4+) cell proportions and the Th1 to Th2 and Th17 to Th2 ratios were determined in the spleen (a–e), lymph nodes (f–j), and CNS (k–o) (n = 6, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)
