CD4-CKO mice have increased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and decreased FOXP3 expression during chronic EAE. Protein was extracted from a 2 mm section of the corpora callosa of chronically ill mice. (A) Protein homogenates were prepared from CD4-CKO and WT (CD4Cre) mice, and protein levels of inflammatory cytokines measured by ELISA (pg/mg total protein) (n = 8–11). (B) Protein levels of inflammatory cytokines in the spinal cord measured by ELISA (pg/mg total protein) (n = 6). (C) Spinal cord mRNA expression of FOXP3 measured by qRT-PCR (n = 6–10). All genes were normalized to HPRT expression. Differences in expression are shown as 2−ΔΔCt. Data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA, *p < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
