Ability of patient serum to induced hepatocellular IL‐22 signaling depends on the IL‐22BP/IL‐22 ratio. Huh‐7 cells were incubated with representative serum samples of patients with low and high IL‐22BP/IL‐22 ratios for 15 minutes. (A) Western blot analyses for the indicated antigens were performed. IL‐22BP and IL‐22 concentrations as well as IL‐22BP/IL‐22 ratios of the patient samples are shown. (B) Cells were pretreated with or without a neutralizing antibody against the IL‐22 receptor before exposure to patient serum with high IL‐22 activity (1 and 2 from [A]) for 15 minutes.
