Figure 3. Transcription factor control of Th17 and Th22 cell differentiation.
Representative plots of WT, Rorc(γt)-/- and Tbx21-/- Th cells differentiated in each Th condition (Th1, Th17 and Th22) (A). Cell populations in FACS plots are pre-gated on CD4+CD44+ and viable cells. Quantitation of IL-17+, IL-22+ and IFN-γ+ cells under each Th condition (Th1, Th17 and Th22) for WT, Rorc(γt)-/- and Tbx21-/- cells (B) and differential transcription factor expression assessed by RT-PCR, normalized to the housekeeping gene Hprt (C). Error bars represent SEM (n=6 per group from three independent experiments). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
