Fig. 2From: Plasmodium yoelii 17XL infection modified maturation and function of dendritic cells by skewing Tregs and amplificating Th17Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated the efficacies of Th17 neutrilization in vivo. The proportion of Th17 in CD4+ T cells (a), absolute cell numers of Th17 (b), and dot plots (c) after anti-IL-17 mAb treatment were detected. Column diagram (left) and representative dot plots (right) of Th17 in the infected with P.y17XL (normal infection) and CD25-depleted BALB/c P.y17XL (P.y17XL + anti-IL-17 mAb) were displayed. Results are presented as arithmetic mean of 4 mice per group ± SE. Single asterisk (*) and double asterisks (**) indicates P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively, compared with control mice (non-infected mice, 0d). Single pound sign (#) and double pound sign (##) indicates P < 0.05, and P < 0.01, respectively, between infected and Tregs depletion groups mice.* = Calculated value of ‘p’ by student’s t-test; # = Calculated value of ‘p’ by one-way ANON. P-values were calibrated using Bonferroni correction. The data are representative of three separate experimentsBack to article page
