LL-CFA/I maintains suppressive Tregs in the PaLNs at 17 weeks. Four wk-old NOD females were orally dosed with 5 × 107 CFUs of LL-CFA/I, LL vector, or PBS per the treatment regimen described in Fig. 5. (A,B) At 17 wks, one wk after their final dose, purified PaLN lymphocytes were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAbs to assess by flow cytometry (A) Foxp3+CD4+ Tregs and co-expression of (B) IFN-γ and Tbet. Expression of RoRγt and GATA3 by splenic (C,D) PaLN CD4+ T cells was also measured. (E) Staining was performed on unstimulated diabetogenic PaLN T cells to detect tetramer-specific GAD:206-220 and InsB:9-23 CD4+ T cells, and tetramer-specific InsB:15-23 CD8+ T cells. Data are represented as means ± SEM; *p < 0.05 for LL-CFA/I vs PBS; #p < 0.05 for LL-CFA/I vs LL vector.
