Fig 2: Phenotype of aortic IL-17A-expressing T cells. (A) Representative dot plots showing the gating strategy for aortic IL-17A-expressing T cell subsets based on CXCR3 and IL-17RE. (B) The proportions of R3+RElow T cells and R3-REhigh T cells in total aortic IL-17A-expressing T cells. (C) Representative dot plots showing the expression of CD200 and CCR4 in R3+RElow T cells and R3-REhigh T cells, respectively. (D) The proportions of 200+R4- and 200+R4+ cells in R3+RElow T cells, respectively. (E) Representative histograms showing ROR?t expression in indicated subsets. (F) Representative histograms showing T-bet protein in indicated subsets. (G) The mean fluorescence intensities (MFI) of T-bet in indicated subsets. (H) Representative dot plots showing intracellular staining of IFN-? in indicated subsets. (I) The proportions of IFN-?-expressing cells in indicated subsets. N = 3 or 5. ***: p < .001.
