Fig. 1. IL-35 producing B cells are preferentially upregulated in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).

A Expression levels of IL-35 in B cells from the peripheral blood from patients with UC and healthy controls were detected by flow cytometry, representative IL-12A+ EBI3+ expression in CD19+ B cells isolated from the healthy control group (n = 14); UC patient group (n = 11). B Dots represent IL-12A+ EBI3+ cell frequencies in isolated CD19+ B cells and total peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). C Dots represent IL-12A+ EBI3+ cell frequencies in total PBMCs. D IL-35 production in the serum from patients with UC and healthy controls were detected by ELISA (healthy control group n = 14; patients with UC group n = 14, two representative independent experiments are presented out of three similar experiments performed). E Expression levels of IL-35 in CD20+ B cells from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded colon tissue sections from six patients with UC and six healthy controls were determined by immunofluorescence staining. BD Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test. Data are shown as mean ±standard error of the mean (SEM) (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001).
