Impact of Dietary Gluten on Regulatory T Cells and Th17 Cells in BALB/c Mice
Figure 1
No diet-induced difference was found in the proportion of CD4+Foxp3+ T cells.
(A) Representative plot of lymphocyte and CD3+CD4+ gate. (B) Bars represent the proportion of Foxp3+ cells (gated on 100% CD4+CD3+ cells) in various lymphoid compartments. No diet-induced differences was found in the proportion of CD4+Foxp3+ T cells in all lymphoid compartments tested. Data are presented as mean values ± SEM of two independent experiments with 6 mice in each group. (C) Representative histogram from PLN, showing the proportion of CD4+Foxp3+T cells in the STD diet mice compared to the GF diet mice. Spleen (S); inguinal lymph nodes (ILN); mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN); Peyer's patches (PP) and pancreatic lymph nodes (PLN). Black bars: STD diet. Grey bars: GF diet.
