a, Heat map of the top 60 genes differentially expressed
(false-discovery-rate-adjusted P value < 0.01) between
PLZF+ (left) and PLZF− (right) γδ
T cells. b, Scatter plot of gene transcripts differentially
expressed by PLZF+ and PLZF− γδ T
cells from 14-week-old male mice. c, Flow cytometry of RORγt
(top) and T-bet (bottom) expression in PLZF+ and
PLZF− γδ T cells from eWAT SVF.
d, Representative intracellular cytokine staining (top) and
quantification (bottom) on gated γδ T cells from eWAT SVF for TNF,
IL-17A, and IFN-γ after 4-h stimulation with PMA and ionomycin
(n = 4 mice). e, Representative intracellular
IL-17A staining of gated PLZF+ and PLZF−
γδ T cells from eWAT SVF after 4-h treatment with PMA and
ionomycin (n = 5 mice). Small horizontal lines indicate the
mean. NS, not significant (P > 0.05);
*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01;
****P < 0.0001 (one-way ANOVA in d).
Data are representative of two experiments
(c–e; mean ± s.e.m. in
d).
