Fig. 1. Mincle is specifically expressed in TH17 cells.

a Real-time PCR analysis for mRNA levels of Mincle in TH0, TH1, TH2, TH17, and Treg cells after 3 days polarization. The expression levels were normalized to the expression of β-actin, n = 3 biological replicates. b Western analysis of Mincle protein in polarized TH1, TH2, TH17, and Treg cells from WT and Mincle-deficient mice, β-actin as a loading control, data are representative of three independent experiments, density values measured using Image J for the representative blot shown, ND not detected. c Real-time PCR analysis for Mincle mRNA levels in CD4+ cells stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 in the presence of indicated cytokines for 72 h, n = 3 biological replicates. d Flow cytometry analysis of wild-type and Mincle-deficient TH1, TH1, TH17, and Treg cells with the indicated antibodies, n = 4 biological replicates. ***P < 0.001 (Two sided student’s t test for a and d, Two-way ANOVA for c) Data are represented as mean ± SD. Exact P values for asterisks (from left to right): a 0.00004, c 0.0015, 0.0007, 0.0089, 0.0056, 0.0086.
