Loss of function of the IL-10 receptor. Functional analysis of IL-10 receptor complex was performed by determining signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation using flow cytometry. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the patient (right panel) and his father (left panel) were stimulated for 15 minutes with IL-10 (20 ng/mL) or IL-6 (20 ng/mL) or kept unstimulated, and later fixed, permeabilized and stained for phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3), which is downstream of the IL-10 and IL-6 receptor complexes
