FIG 2. Basophils from allergic patients do not respond to TSLP and do not express IL-7Ra. Whole blood samples from HDs (empty bars, n 5 5) and allergic patients (black bars, n 5 8) were stimulated for 6 hours with IL-3, TSLP, anti-Fc 3RI antibody, or medium and analyzed by FCM. Gating strategy on whole blood (A). Intracellular P-STAT5 expression in basophils (left) and mDCs (right) (B). CD203c (left) and CCR3 (right) expression on basophils (C). % of IL-7Ra-and TSLPR-expressing basophils (left) or mDCs (right) (D). Data are shown as mean 6 SEM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
