Impaired production of IL-9 by ITK-deficient T lymphocytes. (A) T-blasts from P1 and P2 were stimulated for 2 h with various reagents. Secreted cytokines were determined with the LEGENDplex assay. Technical duplicates were prepared for the unstimulated and anti-CD3 mAb-conjugated bead-stimulated samples. (B) Expression of IRF4. T-blasts from P2, her mother, and local controls were either left unstimulated or were stimulated with an anti-CD2/CD3/CD28 mAb cocktail for 24 h and analyzed by flow cytometry. For pharmacological ITK inhibition, T-blasts from controls were cultured in the presence of DMSO or an ITK inhibitor (BMS509744). Bars represent the mean and SEM. Statistical significance was determined for differences between the two ITK-deficient patients on the one hand, and local and familial controls on the other. *, P < 0.05, two-tailed Wilcoxon’s rank sum tests with FDR adjustment. Representative results from two independent experiments are shown.
