Transfer of Th17 from Adult Spontaneous Hypertensive Rats Accelerates Development of Hypertension in Juvenile Spontaneous Hypertensive Rats
Figure 6
T cell profiles of the kidney in juvenile recipient WKY and SHR for 4 days after transferring Th17 cells from adult donor SHR. Representative flow cytometric analysis revealed the proportion of (a) CD4+IL-17A+ (Th17) cells and (b) CD4+FoxP3+ (Treg) cells of kidney lymphocytes in juvenile recipient WKY or SHR. Quantification revealed that the proportion of (c) CD4+IL-17A+ (Th17) cells and (d) CD4+FoxP3+ (Treg) cells after transfer of Th17 cells was comparable with transferring the vehicle in juvenile recipient WKY and SHR. Data are the of 4 independent experiments.
