Clinical Significance of IL-23 Regulating IL-17A and/or IL-17F Positive Th17 Cells in Chronic Periodontitis

Figure 4

Expression level of (IL-17A⁺ and/or IL-17F⁺) Th17 cells in CP and HC groups with or without recombinant IL-23 stimulation. (a) and (d) showed the isotype control performed by Simultest IgG2a/IgG1, while (b), (c), (d), and (e) showed the double staining performed by IL-17A and IL-17F anti-human antibody ((c) and (f) groups were treated by rhIL-23, while (b) and (e) were not). HC group includes (a), (b), and (c); CP group includes (d), (e), and (f).
