STAT3 phosphorylation analysis after stimulation. (a) Western blot analysis of whole cell lysates of PBMCs, unstimulated or 20 min. stimulated with 200 ng/ml IL6 or IL10. Expression of STAT3 phosphorylated at Y705 (pSTAT3) and total STAT3 (STAT3) of the two affected siblings and a healthy control was assessed; Actin as loading control. (b) Representative flow cytometric analysis showing diminished Y705-STAT3 phosphorylation after 20 min. stimulation with 200 ng/ml IL6 (solid line) versus unremarkable results after stimulation with 20 ng/ml IL10 (dotted line) and 10 ng/ml IL21 (dashed line) in lymphocytes of patient II.2 compared to unremarkable results in patient II.3 and a healthy control; filled gray area: unstimulated lymphocytes. (c) Flow cytometric analysis showing Y705-STAT3 phosphorylation after 20 min. stimulation with 20 ng/ml IL6 (solid line) or IL10 (dotted line) and 10 ng/ml IL21 (dashed line) comparable to healthy control in lymphocytes of one (representative of four) DOCK8-HIES patient. (d) Restored STAT3 phosphorylation after IL6 stimulation (solid line) in patient II.2 15 months after HSCT compared to unstimulated (filled gray area) and IL10-stimulated (dotted line) lymphocytes.
