Overexpression and Selectively Regulatory Roles of IL-23/IL-17 Axis in the Lesions of Oral Lichen Planus
Figure 4
The effect of recombinant (r) IL-23 on the percentage of Th17 cells and IL-17 production in CD4+T cells from OLP patients. (a) Representative scatter plots of CD4+IL-17+ staining in peripheral blood CD4+T cells from OLP patients (), with or without the stimulation of rIL-23 (20 ng/mL) for 36 h. ((b) and (c)) Paired comparisons of percentages of Th17 cells (b) and the IL-17 content in the culture supernatant (c) in peripheral blood CD4+T cells from OLP patients (), with or without the stimulation of rIL-23 (20 ng/mL) for 36 h.
