Figure 3. Production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IFNγ by T cell subsets isolated from CR and control male RM.
(A, B) percentage of CM and EM CD8 T cells that secrete IFNγ (A) or TNFα (B) in response to a 6 hr. in vitro stimulation with anti-CD3. In contrast to AO-CR, JO-CR results in increased prevalence of inflammatory cytokine-secreting memory T cells. (C, D) Percentage of CM and EM CD4 T cells that secrete IFNγ (C) or TNFα (D) in response to anti CD3 stimulation. JO-CR results in increased frequency of inflammatory cytokine-secreting CD4 T cells as well.
