Amplification of Th17 and Th1 cell activity in p55 TNFR−/− mice. LN cells from WT, p55 TNFR−/−, and p75 TNFR−/− mice were taken 14 d after immunization with type II collagen in CFA. (A) LN cells were either unstimulated or stimulated with collagen or with anti-CD3 mAb, and the level of proliferation was determined by [3H]thymidine incorporation. The percentage of CD4+ T cells in the LN was determined by flow cytometry on day 14 after immunization. (B) Levels of IL-17 and IFNγ were determined by ELISA. (C) The proportion of CD4+ cells in the LN producing IL-17 and IFNγ were determined by flow cytometry. Histograms show mean ± SEM (n = 8). *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. Data are representative of two experiments.
