Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytokines produced in PBMCs by flow cytometry. PBMCs were stimulated with rEg.P29, and the cells were collected and labeled with antibodies to detect IFN-γ and IL-17A production by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells using flow cytometry. (A) Representative flow scatter plots for detecting IFN-γ production by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells. (B, D) show the IFN-γ production by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in each group at week 8, respectively. (C, E) show the tendency of IFN-γ production by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells at different times, respectively. (F) Representative flow scatter plots for detecting IL-17A production by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells. (G, I) show the IL-17A production by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in each group of samples at week 8, respectively. (H, J) show the tendency of IL-17A production by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells at different times, respectively. Data were obtained from 9 sheep, and results are presented as mean ± SD (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001).
Article Snippet: To determine the cellular phenotypes of PBMCs, cells were directly stained with mouse anti-sheep CD4 (Clone: 44.38) and mouse anti-sheep CD8 (Clone: 38.65) antibodies (Bio-Rad AbD Serotec, Munich, USA), and incubated at 4°C for 30 min in the dark, followed by two washes with washing buffer.
