Th17/1-Biased Inflammatory Environment Involved in the Response of Epithelial Cells to Antigen Stimuli in Nasal Polyps

Figure 2

Both CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and γδT cells expressed IL-17A in NP tissues. (a) FACS gating was used in the analysis of CD3⁺ T cells. (b) Representative FACS graphs and summary data showed the expression of IL-17A by CD3⁺ T cells in NP () and uncinate () tissues. (c, d) Representative FACS graphs and summary data showed the expression of IL-17A by CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and γδT cells in NP () and uncinate () tissues. (e) Summary data showed the percentages of Th17, Tc17, and γδT17 cells in NP tissues (). Data were shown as the . Statistical significance was determined with the Mann–Whitney test. ; . NP: nasal polyp; UN: uncinate.
