Stimulation of CD3+CD4+CD154+IL-5+ with milk antigens or α-CD3CD28. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured with milk antigens (250 mg/mL) (A and C) or stimulated with α-CD3CD28 (B and D). Flow cytometry was performed gating on activated T cells measured by CD154+ (A and B) or TH2 activated T cells (CD154+IL-5+) (C and D). Patients with active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE-A) have higher levels of CD154 activation marker with milk at baseline. Patients with inactive EoE (EoE-I) had increased markers of T-cell activation with milk, whereas T cells were activated in all patients with α-CD3CD28.
