Figure 5.
ILC2 cytokine secretion pattern following stimulation with different combinations of ECs in IMDM or SFEM II culture media. ILC2s were stimulated with the triple EC combination or with all 3 ECs plus IL-2, and effector cytokine production was quantified in the supernatants after 5 days in culture with either IMDM or SFEM II. (A-E) Multiplexed ELISA was performed to measure IL-13 (A), IL-5 (B), IL-4 (C), IL-8 (D), and IFN-γ (E). Data are shown as mean ± SEM from 2 independent experiments, with n = 2 or 3 donors each. Significance was calculated using 1-way ANOVA followed by correction for multiple comparisons, where *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001, and ****P < .0001. Statistics above bars represent comparison with media baseline; comparison between samples is represented by the connecting line. (F) Representative contour plots showing intracellular expression of IL-13, IL-5, and IFN-γ in ILC2s cultured in either IMDM or SFEM II following 4-hour incubation with brefeldin A. Data are representative of 2 independent experiments (n = 2 donors). ns, not significant.
