Th2/IgE-type immune reactions are evident in Foxp3YFP-Cre-Nr4a-TKO mice. (A) Titers of antibodies to double-stranded DNA in sera from 5–7-wk-old mice (n = 7 mice per genotype, pooled from 5 independent cohorts per genotype). (B) Titers of IgE, IgG1, and IgG2b in serum from 5–7-wk-old mice (n = 9 mice per genotype, pooled from 7 independent cohorts per genotype). (C) Titers of IgE, IgG1, and anti–double-stranded DNA antibodies in serum from 5–7-wk-old mice (n = 5 mice per genotype, pooled from 4 independent cohorts per genotype). (D) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of tissue sections from 5-wk-old Nr4a3−/− mice. Outlined area indicates area shown enlarged below. Scale bars, 100 µm. (E) Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining of mucus-producing cells (pink) in the lungs from 5-wk-old Foxp3YFP-Cre-WT and Foxp3YFP-Cre-Nr4a-TKO mice. Outlined area indicates area shown enlarged below. Bars, 100 µm. (F) Total eosinophil counts in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids from 5–7-wk-old Foxp3YFP-Cre-WT and Foxp3YFP-Cre-Nr4a-TKO mice (n = 6 mice per genotype, pooled from 5 independent cohorts per genotype). Each symbol in (A, B, C, and F) represents an individual mouse; small horizontal lines indicate the mean. ***, P < 0.005; ****, P < 0.001 (Mann-Whitney tests [A, B, F], one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparisons test [C]).
