Interleukin-1 Receptors Are Differentially Expressed in Normal and Psoriatic T Cells

Figure 4

Soluble IL-1R2 protein secretion is not significantly different in healthy and psoriatic Treg and Teff cells. Cell populations were separated by magnetic bead and flow cytometer mediated cell sorting method as described. Supernatants of control and activated regulatory (Treg) and effector (Teff) T cells were harvested after three days. Experiments were performed with three parallel samples from each condition following the manufacturer’s protocol. Slightly higher levels of sIL-1R2 in supernatants of psoriatic T cells were detected compared to healthy samples; however, no significant difference was observed.
